WP2161491 - Genuine OEM Whirlpool Refrigerator Crisper Drawer Cover

The WP2161491 Genuine OEM Whirlpool Refrigerator Crisper Drawer Cover is an original Whirlpool replacement part designed for compatible Whirlpool and KitchenAid refrigerators. Also known as a meat drawer cover and shelf frame, this component supports the refrigerator's meat or deli drawer, functions as a shelf, and provides the frame that holds the drawer cover glass. The frame includes moulded glide rails and does not include the glass shelving.

Available through Appliance Kingdom, your Canadian appliance parts supplier based in Edmonton, Alberta, this genuine OEM Whirlpool refrigerator drawer cover is suitable for replacing a damaged, cracked, or worn shelf frame. We serve customers across Canada, including homeowners, landlords, and professional appliance repair technicians.

Function & Importance of the Refrigerator Crisper Drawer Cover

The WP2161491 refrigerator crisper drawer cover and shelf frame serves several purposes:

• Supports the refrigerator's meat or deli drawer.

• Functions as a shelf within the refrigerator compartment.

• Provides the frame surrounding the drawer cover glass.

• Includes moulded glide rails that support drawer movement.

The replacement frame helps restore the structural support and usability of the drawer area. Using a genuine OEM component helps ensure the replacement matches the original appliance design, including its dimensions and drawer support features.

Please note: This part does not include the glass shelving. Verify whether your existing glass is reusable or requires separate replacement.

Common Symptoms Indicating Replacement

A damaged or worn WP2161491 refrigerator crisper drawer cover frame may be associated with the following issues:

• Broken or damaged drawer rollers.

• Drawer that does not slide properly.

• Drawer cover frame damage.

• Difficulty opening or closing the drawer.

Will replacing this part fix my refrigerator problem?

If your problem is caused by a damaged meat drawer cover frame, broken rollers, or related structural damage, replacing the frame can restore the drawer's proper support and movement. However, if the problem involves the glass, drawer itself, or another refrigerator component, additional parts may be required.
