Compatibility Notes
-
Confirm your basket rail and slide mechanism use this style clip (the slide-clip style shown in parts diagrams) before ordering.
-
If the basket rails or liner are bent or broken, simply replacing this clip may not restore smooth operation — have your technician inspect the entire drawer slide assembly.
-
Ensure the replacement is installed properly, aligned, and that the drawer travels freely — mis-installation may lead to premature failure or damage.
-
Because this is a mechanical support part, ensure items in the basket are removed before installation to avoid injury or misalignment.
