Common Symptoms That Indicate Replacement
-
The crisper drawer cover is sagging, uneven or moves when you open/close the drawer — indicating the support post may be broken or missing.
-
You notice a gap under one side of the cover or the glass/cover tilts under load of items above the drawer.
-
The cover rubbing or binding when sliding the drawer, suggesting mis-alignment due to support failure.
If you see these symptoms, have your maintenance technician verify the support post (10461901) is the correct component and that surrounding drawer tracks and mounts are intact.

Compatibility Notes
-
Matching the full model number of your refrigerator (including suffix letters) is crucial — even if the old post appears visually identical, mounting height, length and tab spacing might vary.
-
Replacing the support post will restore proper cover support only if the crisper drawer cover, drawer rails and liner mounts are in good condition — if these are damaged, additional parts or repairs may be needed.
-
Installation: remove the contents from the crisper drawer and drawer cover, lift out the cover, remove the old or broken support post (if present), insert the new 10461901 post into the correct slot/mounting position, reseat the cover, and slide the drawer back in. Test operation by opening/closing the drawer and verifying that the cover sits flush and stable.
