Features & Benefits

OEM-engineered fit for models that list WR72X10247, ensuring proper alignment and smooth drawer/bucket movement. GE Appliance Parts
-
Designed for the left-hand side (LHS) slide rail of the ice container or drawer — key for smooth operation and proper support. HD Supply+1
-
Helps correct issues like the ice bucket sticking, catching, or binding when sliding in and out. iFixit+1
-
Restoring the glide helps prevent damage to the bucket, freezer liner, or drawer track by ensuring proper motion and alignment.
Common Symptoms That Indicate Replacement Is Needed
-
The ice bucket or drawer juts, drags or gets stuck when sliding in or out.
-
One side of the bucket/drawer rides higher or lower, indicating a worn or broken slide rail.
-
You hear scraping, grinding, or unusual resistance during bucket movement — an indication the glide may be damaged or missing.
-
The bucket falls out of alignment or shifts sideways when you pull it out.
-
The left-side slide rail appears cracked, broken, or the mounting clips are missing.
Compatibility Notes
-
This is specifically the left side glide. If your issue is on the right side, a different part number may be required.
-
Verify your fridge’s full model number and check that your current slide rail looks like the one to be replaced (compare dimensions: width ≈ 1.5 in, height ≈ 1.25 in, depth ≈ 16.25 in). GE Appliance Parts
-
Even if this part number matches what you see, inspect the drawer track and mounting area for damage — if the liner channel or screw holes are compromised, simply replacing the glide may not restore perfect function.
-
Replacing the glide restores drawer/bucket motion but will not resolve issues such as defective ice bucket, freezer liner damage, or dispenser malfunctions. Those would need separate diagnosis.
