This is the lowermost shelf in the compartment, sliding into grooves molded into the freezer's interior walls to provide a sturdy, ventilated surface for storing frozen goods. Unlike a solid shelf, the open wire construction lets cold air circulate freely around whatever is stored on it, which helps maintain even freezing throughout the compartment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeasuring approximately 12\" x 25\" (11.65\"W x 24.55\"L), this shelf is made of coated wire with a white finish. Over years of loading and unloading groceries, the wire can weaken, bend, or separate from its retaining clips, and constant weight can eventually cause sagging or wobbling. A worn shelf typically shows up as wobbling under load, difficulty locking securely into its groove position, or wires that have visibly pulled loose from their retention brackets. It directly replaces AP5988764, W10581579, 4363361, PS11727969, and W10837264.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pom-qa\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"pom-qa-label\"\u003eQuick Answer\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eW10838313 Genuine OEM Whirlpool Freezer Wire Shelf (Lower)\u003c\/strong\u003e fixes Whirlpool upright freezers with a bottom shelf that wobbles, sags, won't lock securely into place, or has wires separating from the retaining clips.
