WPW10713153 – Genuine OEM Whirlpool Refrigerator Kickplate Grille, Midnight Grey

The WPW10713153 Genuine OEM Whirlpool Refrigerator Kickplate Grille is an original Whirlpool replacement part designed for compatible refrigerators. Also known as a toe grille or toe kick plate, this midnight grey grille installs across the lower front of the refrigerator and provides the proper finished appearance while allowing airflow into the machine compartment.

This is a Genuine OEM Whirlpool part, making it a dependable choice when replacing a cracked, damaged, loose, or missing refrigerator kickplate grille. Appliance Kingdom supplies genuine OEM appliance parts across Canada, with Canada-wide shipping for homeowners, landlords, property managers, and professional appliance repair technicians.

Function & Importance of the Refrigerator Kickplate Grille

The refrigerator kickplate grille covers the lower front portion of the appliance while allowing air to pass through the grille into the machine compartment. Proper airflow in this area is important because the grille is designed to allow ventilation around components located beneath the refrigerator.

A damaged or missing kickplate can leave the lower front of the refrigerator exposed and detract from the appliance's finished appearance. A properly fitted OEM grille restores the intended fit, appearance, and airflow path.

Using the correct OEM part matters because refrigerator grilles can vary in dimensions, mounting points, colour, and design. Whirlpool's parts network specifically identifies WPW10713153 as a refrigerator toe kick plate and notes that it fits particular refrigerator applications.

Common Signs Your Refrigerator Kickplate Grille Needs Replacement

Consider replacing the kickplate grille if you notice:

• Cracks or broken sections in the grille
• A missing refrigerator kickplate
• The grille will not stay securely attached
• Bent or damaged mounting areas
• Visible damage along the lower front of the refrigerator
• A grille that has been lost during moving or appliance servicing
• A damaged grille that no longer provides the intended lower-front coverage

Reliable Parts specifically identifies broken or damaged grille applications for this OEM part, while AMRE Supply describes it as a refrigerator kickplate that attaches across the bottom of the refrigerator.

Will Replacing This Part Fix My Problem?

If your refrigerator's kickplate or toe grille is cracked, broken, missing, or unable to remain securely attached, replacing it with the correct WPW10713153 assembly can restore the lower-front grille.

However, if your refrigerator is experiencing cooling problems, unusual temperatures, or other mechanical issues, replacing the kickplate alone will not necessarily resolve those problems. The kickplate is primarily a grille and ventilation component rather than an electronic or refrigeration control.
