WPW10389152 - Genuine OEM Whirlpool Refrigerator Shelf Support
The WPW10389152 Genuine OEM Whirlpool Refrigerator Shelf Support is an original Whirlpool replacement component designed for compatible refrigerators. Authoritative parts sources identify WPW10389152 as a genuine OEM refrigerator support component, with Whirlpool and RepairClinic listing it as a refrigerator support bracket/fan support.
For Canadian customers, Appliance Kingdom supplies genuine OEM and quality appliance replacement parts across Canada. WPW10389152 is a suitable replacement when the original refrigerator support is damaged, broken, or no longer securely supporting the associated refrigerator component. Always verify your refrigerator model before ordering.
What Does the WPW10389152 Refrigerator Support Do?
WPW10389152 is identified by authoritative sources as a refrigerator support bracket/fan support. Its function is to provide structural support and secure the associated fan assembly within compatible refrigerator configurations. AppliancePartsPros describes the part as supporting the fan motor in the fresh-food compartment and helping maintain proper air circulation.
A properly secured support is important because the fan assembly must remain correctly positioned for reliable operation. A damaged or broken support can allow the supported component to become loose or improperly positioned, potentially affecting refrigerator airflow and creating abnormal operation.
Because refrigerator designs vary by model, using the correct OEM support is important for proper positioning, fit, and long-term reliability.
Common Symptoms Indicating Replacement
A damaged WPW10389152 support may be associated with:
-
A loose or improperly supported fan assembly
-
Visible damage or breakage to the support
-
Fan assembly that is no longer securely positioned
-
Abnormal fan operation caused by improper positioning
-
Refrigerator airflow problems when the fan assembly is affected
-
Unusual noise or vibration from a loose supported component
WPW10389152 is specifically identified as a fan support by Whirlpool and RepairClinic.
If the support itself is broken or damaged, replacing it can restore the intended mechanical support. However, if the refrigerator is experiencing cooling or airflow problems, the fan motor, wiring, ice accumulation, or another component may also require diagnosis.
Will Replacing WPW10389152 Fix My Refrigerator Problem?
If the refrigerator's problem is caused by a broken or damaged support that is preventing the fan assembly from being properly secured, replacing WPW10389152 can correct that mechanical issue.
It will not, however, automatically resolve every refrigerator cooling or airflow problem. If the fan motor or another refrigerator component has failed, that component may require separate diagnosis and replacement.
Compatibility Guidance
WPW10389152 is a refrigerator support component used in selected Whirlpool-family refrigerator applications. RepairClinic identifies the part for select Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, JennAir, and KitchenAid refrigerators.
Reliable Parts and AMRE Supply also identify WPW10389152 as a genuine OEM Whirlpool refrigerator shelf/support part and list compatibility across several Whirlpool-family brands.
Before ordering, verify the complete model number of your refrigerator. Parts that look similar can have differences in size, shape, mounting points, or application.
If you are unsure whether WPW10389152 is correct, provide Appliance Kingdom with your complete refrigerator model number so compatibility can be checked before purchase.
