Common Symptoms That Indicate Replacement
-
The door shelf bar is loose, tilting or one side drops when loaded — often due to a broken or missing support cap.
-
Stored bottles or jars shift or fall out when opening the door, especially near one end of the shelf.
-
The shelf bar mounting tab is visibly cracked or broken, or the cap removed reveals damage to the liner slot.
-
The old support cap is missing or visibly worn/warped.
If any of these symptoms are observed, have your maintenance technician verify that 218809701 is the correct part and confirm that other components (shelf bar, liner, mounting tabs) are intact.
