6EC3FHKXWA00 Whirlpool Refrigerator - Instructions

I filed the nubs down flat with the track. Worked like a charm from that point.

Remove sliding drawer. Remove glass shelf. Inspect the installation slots that the support rail is mounted through. Understand the direction you wish to apply force and then softly tap the rail and it will pop free. The same can be done for both sides. Interestingly, the parts are the same so you do not need a left and right rail if both rails are broken. In fact, they can be removed, flipped 180deg and reinstalled.

Opening up the Evaporator Fan section was a quick and easy job. After opening, I checked and removed the fan and looked at the grommet. The grommet on the fan was tight and secure and I could no longer hear the noise. I closed the opening. Something I had done while checking the fan grommet must have solved the problem. I have not hear the noise again!

Replacement of the glass shelf was easy and simple

Removed the handle and removed old part . It took hours to remove the old clips that were on the handle fastened with Allen screws. It took hours to remove the Allen screws without stripping the screws. Need to use an Allen wrench with a handle so you could apply pressure. That finally worked.

Bottom line the fridge handle still comes off with the new parts.
It was an expensive couple of parts that are not doing the job.My wife now opens the fridge by putting her hand on the top of the door.Suggest you don’t buy the parts, they don’t work.

My husband was able to remove the broken tracks & replace them very quickly. Super easy repair.

Piece of cake. Don't know why I waited so long to order the parts. Reasonable cost too.

After cleaning out the drawer and taking it out, I removed the shelf the bracket was connected to. The bracket slid out and the new one slid in with help from the rubber mallet. Should have checked the left side too, as it was cracked and I ended up ordering another track.

Both husband and wife working together.

I followed the video that was with the parts description on-line and also prior to ordering you can watch the video. This will indicate if you are qualified to make the repair or you need to bring in more knowledgeable help.

These slides are in a notched metal support arm and meant to slip forward into a groove and lock in place. The replacements are exactly the same with one small difference and that is two small pillars that are meant to apply tension so that the slide stays in place. Therefore you have to fit the new slide into its notch and groove hold and press it into the support in two places and then push the slide into its locking position. I found that doing this was difficult with only two hands as the plastic did not flex and the tension from the new unit was far greater than the old ones with out the tension pillars. Answer was simple; soak the new slides in very hot water for 5-10 minutes. This allowed the slides to be more flexible and slide and lock right into place.

Popped the old slides out. the new slides had extra small knobs(no holes for them) ground off unnecessary ones with dremel grinder. slide right in after doing this with no problem.

New part had small tips on each end that had to be shaved down . Used broken part as guide to hammer new part in place .

I used a small hammer to gently tap the broken slide track out of the locked position. Then inserted the new one into the track and slid it slightly to lock it in place.

Simply off-load food from damaged shelf; then remove old shelf itself. Fit the new shelf into the refrigerator shelf-slots. (No tools required.) Reload all the refrigerator food items on to new shelf and then grab a cup of coffee.

In my case it would have been nice to have been able to keep the old shelf glass since it was undamaged and had writing on it. But, no great loss!
