What Does the WPW10397636 Refrigerator Slide Do?

WPW10397636 is the left-hand freezer drawer slide rail used on compatible Whirlpool-family refrigerators. The rail attaches horizontally to the interior wall of the freezer and supports the freezer drawer as it moves in and out.

A properly functioning drawer slide helps the freezer drawer open and close smoothly while keeping the drawer properly supported and aligned.

Because drawer-slide dimensions and mounting arrangements can vary between refrigerator models, using the correct OEM component is important for proper fit, smooth operation, and reliable long-term performance.

Common Symptoms of a Damaged or Worn Refrigerator Drawer Slide

A damaged WPW10397636 drawer slide rail can contribute to:

• Freezer drawer will not open properly

• Freezer drawer will not close properly

• Drawer becomes difficult to slide

• Drawer sits out of alignment

• Drawer movement becomes rough or unstable

• Unusual noises occur when opening or closing the drawer

• Broken or damaged slide rail prevents normal drawer operation

Reliable Parts specifically identifies drawer-opening problems, drawer-closing problems, and unusual noises as possible repair symptoms associated with this component.

Will Replacing WPW10397636 Fix My Refrigerator Drawer?

If the left freezer drawer slide rail is broken, worn, or damaged, replacing the defective rail can restore proper drawer movement and alignment.

However, similar drawer problems can sometimes be caused by other components or obstructions. Verify that the slide rail is the failed component before ordering a replacement.
