Whirlpool 3196817 Drawer Bracket Oem Replacement

Product Description

The WHIRLPOOL 3196817 is an OEM drawer bracket designed to restore proper drawer alignment and support in compatible Whirlpool appliances. This structural component holds the drawer assembly in its correct position within the appliance cabinet, allowing smooth operation and preventing misalignment caused by normal wear over time. It is manufactured to original equipment specifications, ensuring a direct fit without modification. Appliance repair technicians and experienced DIYers install this part during routine maintenance or when a damaged bracket causes drawer wobble, sagging, or failure to track correctly.

This drawer bracket is suited for residential appliance repair applications. It is typically installed when the original bracket has cracked, broken, or worn to the point where the drawer no longer operates as intended. Because no supplier-provided model compatibility list was included with this part, installers should verify fitment against the full appliance model number before ordering.
