Description
Restore smooth operation of your freezer basket or drawer with this genuine OEM slide rail, part number 297013500, from Frigidaire. This component supports the sliding drawer or basket and ensures proper alignment and motion. Because drawer slides, basket widths and freezer/refrigerator liner configurations vary across model years and brands (including Electrolux, Kenmore, Westinghouse), please check with your maintenance technician to confirm that part 297013500 matches your appliance’s full model number and that the slide rail is the failed component before ordering. frigidaireapplianceparts.com+1
Features & Benefits
-
OEM-specified slide rail: Designed by Frigidaire for correct fit and durability. partselect.com+1
-
Supports either left or right side of the drawer (depending on model): ensures baskets/glides run smoothly and don’t snag or fall. partselect.com
-
Replaces older/alternate part numbers such as 5303212693 for seamless compatibility. frigidaireapplianceparts.com+1
-
Cost-effective repair: Installing a new slide rail can restore drawer/basket movement without replacing the entire drawer or liner.
-
Easy installation (once compatibility is verified): Simple swap of the old rail, align and secure the new one, then test drawer motion.
Common Symptoms That Indicate Replacement
-
The drawer or basket slides unevenly, sticks or does not glide smoothly when pulled out or pushed back in.
-
The drawer falls off the track or tilts when loaded, indicating the slide rail is broken, mis-aligned or worn.
-
You hear scraping or grinding noises under the drawer when operating it — a sign the rail may be damaged or mis-mounted.
-
Visual inspection shows the slide rail is cracked, bent, missing mounting screws or the mounting tabs are damaged.
If you notice any of these symptoms, ask your maintenance technician to verify that the drawer slide rail (297013500) is indeed the failing part and that the drawer frame and liner mounting are intact.
Compatibility / Partial Model Notes
-
Part number 297013500 is listed in the Frigidaire parts catalog as a “Drawer Slide Rail”. frigidaireapplianceparts.com+1
-
Compatible with several brands and models (via cross-reference) including Kenmore, Westinghouse, Electrolux and other Frigidaire-built appliances. partselect.com+1
-
Because liner widths, drawer depths and mounting screw spacing can differ between model years, door styles and production regions, it’s essential to verify your full appliance model number (including suffix letters) and compare the old rail’s geometry (length, mounting holes, tab spacing) before ordering.

Compatibility Notes
-
Matching the entire appliance model number (including suffix letters) is critical—even if your old part looks identical, mounting hole spacing or rail length may differ.
-
Replacing just the rail restores drawer motion only if the drawer’s frame, glide mechanism and liner mounting are intact; if other structural parts are damaged, you may still experience issues.
-
Installation tip (for trained technician or competent DIYer): Remove drawer/basket, unscrew and remove the old slide rail, clean mounting area, align the new 297013500 rail ensuring correct orientation (left/right if required), secure mounting screws, reinstall drawer and test smooth motion with load.
