Whirlpool WSC5533 A+X Fridge Drawer Holder

May 2024: Wow, 6 years of heavy use and one of the PLA-printed rails finally broke... That's quite a durability. I'm reprinting it right now :D

Dec 2018: This is a replacement drawer rail for Whirlpool fridge with ice maker - "american fridge" model from 2012, but it may fit to various other Whirlpoll fridges- check pictures, if it looks alike there's a good chance it's the same part.

Original rails were made from hard PS and broke after years of usage so I designed this replacement part and strengthtened it on the places were it was prone to failure. I printed 4 of these, 2 in red and 2 in green (meat and vegetable drawer) and not in the obvious white and have them in service for 6 months now without any signs of problems. Also, original part costs 40 euros and you most likely will need more that one, I had 3 broken out of 4 ...

Printed on my CR10 rotated diagonally to fit the part onto the bed. I've used PLA because it's a food-safe plastic and advise you to do the same. Technically this part does not come in contact with food so ABS should be fine too, but PLA is easier to print. Since the part is pretty big, it's prone to some warping at the ends even with the PLA so make sure you have good bed adhesion. Also, if you need RIGHT rail, just flip the provided left one on the X axis to get the right one. One more thing to note, there's a cold air vent on the left side under one of rails in my fridge, that's why there's a version with the opening just for it and without the opening, since the hole takes away some strength (not much, but stil..) and require supports. The printing time and ammount of plastic used is almost same thou.
