Answer:

Upper and lower basket retainers are different.

Upper Freezer Basket Retainers

Upper freezer basket retainers are side-specific.

  • The upper freezer basket retainers are part of the side rail assembly. Service is recommended for the repair and replacement of upper freezer basket retainers.
  • Contact Factory Certified Service to schedule an appointment for repair.

Lower Freezer Basket Retainers

Lower freezer basket retainers are not distinguished between LH and RH.

  • The same retainers are used on each side; the front right retainer is the same as the left rear retainer.

The lower freezer basket in a 600 or Classic series (BI) over/under unit is held in place by resting on top of four retainers, one in each corner.

  • If one of these retainers breaks, the freezer basket may fall out of place.
  • This may prevent the freezer drawer from closing properly and contribute to frost or ice build-up in the freezer section.
  • Frequent breaking of retainers may be the result of the upper basket not being pushed in before closing entire freezer drawer as well as closing drawer gently.

Lower Freezer Basket Removal and Installation:

The lower freezer basket retainers are easy to replace and do not require the assistance of a service technician.

600 Series Prior to Serial Number 2354455
