Compatibility Notes
-
Verify that the existing slide bearing in your refrigerator is part number WR1X2048 (or one of the alternates) and that the rail/drawer arrangement matches your unit (left vs right, top vs bottom).
-
Some models may require replacement of an entire rail assembly rather than just the bearing slide—if the rail is bent or cracked, replacing the bearing alone may not sufficiently fix the problem.
-
Remove drawer contents and fully access the slide rail before servicing; follow safety protocols (unplug if needed).
-
Check with your maintenance technician prior to ordering to confirm exact fit, orientation and that this part is the correct fix for your drawer issue.
