How to Install Refrigerator Crisper Frame WP67006185 in a Whirlpool Refrigerator

Quick answer: Clear the bottom of the fresh food section, pull both crisper drawers out, lift the glass insert off the old frame, unhook the frame from its rear and side supports in the liner, hook the new WP67006185 frame in the same slots, lower the front, set the glass back in and slide the drawers home.

Crisper frame WP67006185 is the plastic framework that sits above the crisper drawers in Whirlpool-built refrigerators and does two jobs at once: it carries the glass shelf that forms the crisper lid, and its side rails guide the drawers as they slide in and out. It fits a wide range of Whirlpool, KitchenAid, Amana, Jenn-Air and Maytag cabinets, including KFIS20XVWH1, KRFC300EWH09, JFC2089HES and KBRA20ERWH01. The frame supersedes the earlier numbers WP67007026 and WPW10235370, so if your parts diagram lists either of those, this is the current replacement.

Frames break in predictable places: the front corners crack when a heavy drawer is slammed, the rear hooks snap when someone lifts the glass with the frame still loaded, and the drawer rails wear grooves that let the drawer sag. The glass insert is sold separately, so inspect yours before you order; if it is intact, it moves over to the new frame. This is a no-tools repair inside the fresh food compartment and it does not require unplugging the refrigerator, although you will want the lower shelves emptied so nothing is in your way.

⚠️ Safety First
  • Wear gloves and handle the glass insert by its edges; a cracked shelf can shatter with little warning.
  • Never lift the frame with the glass still in it; the combined weight is awkward and the hooks were not built to carry it.
  • Remove food from the shelf directly above so nothing falls while your hands are inside the compartment.
  • Keep the refrigerator door propped open with something soft so it does not swing shut on your arm.

Tools and Parts You Need

  • Replacement crisper frame WP67006185
  • Work gloves for handling the glass insert
  • Flashlight to see the rear liner hooks
  • Soft towel to set the glass on
  • Warm soapy water and a cloth to clean the liner and glass
  • Flat plastic trim tool if the old frame is stuck in its clips

Step-by-Step Installation

  1. Clear the area Take the drawers' contents and the food on the shelf above out of the refrigerator. Note how the glass and frame sit before you touch anything, or take a phone photo for reference.
  2. Remove the crisper drawers Pull each drawer out to its stop, lift the front slightly to clear the rail stops and slide it fully out. Set both aside.
  3. Lift out the glass insert Push the rear edge of the glass up from underneath so the front edge drops out of its lip, then slide the glass forward and out. Lay it on a towel.
  4. Unhook the old frame Lift the front of the frame to free it from the side supports, then push it back and up to release the rear hooks from the liner. If it is clipped at the sides, spread the clips gently with a trim tool.
  5. Clean the liner Wipe the liner supports and the drawer floor with warm soapy water. Check the liner tabs the frame hooks onto; a broken tab will need a separate repair before the new frame will hold.
  6. Hang WP67006185 Hold the new frame at a slight angle, engage its rear hooks in the liner slots, then lower the front onto the side supports. It should drop into place with a definite seat and sit level front to back.
  7. Reinstall the glass Slide the glass in rear edge first, angle it under any rear lip, then lower the front edge into its channel. Press gently at each corner to confirm it is fully captured.
  8. Refit and test the drawers Slide each drawer onto its rails and push it home. It should glide without catching and stop flush with the front of the frame. Put the food back and check nothing rubs against the glass.

Fit Checks Before You Call the Job Done

  • The frame sits level and does not rock when pressed at either front corner.
  • Both rear hooks are engaged in their liner slots, visible with a flashlight from below.
  • The glass insert is captured on all four sides and does not slide when nudged.
  • Each drawer glides freely and closes flush without tipping.
  • Your model number, for example MFI2067AEW13 or GB2026PEKW4, appears in the fitment list.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Pulling the frame with the glass in it The glass adds weight and hides the hooks. Take the glass out first, every time.

Ignoring a cracked glass insert A new frame will not save a chipped shelf. Order the glass insert separately if yours shows cracks.

Forcing the rear hooks If the frame will not seat, it is not aligned with the liner slots. Lift and re-angle rather than pushing harder; the hooks snap easily.

Installing the frame backwards The frame is handed. If the drawer rails face the wrong way the drawers will not enter. Compare the orientation to your photo before hooking it in.

Slamming loaded drawers Most frame breaks start at the front corners from drawers hitting the stops at speed. Close them gently and do not overload them.

Troubleshooting After Installation

Frame rocks or sits crooked One rear hook missed its slot. Remove the glass, lift the frame and re-seat it so both hooks engage before lowering the front.

Drawer catches on the rail The drawer is on top of the rail instead of in it. Pull the drawer out, tilt the front up and re-enter it with the rear rollers or glides in the channel.

Glass shifts forward The rear edge is not under its lip. Slide the glass back until the rear edge drops into place, then let the front settle in its channel.

Frame does not fit at all Confirm your model number. WP67006185 replaces WP67007026 and WPW10235370, but a different platform uses a different frame.

Care Tips After the Repair

  • Wipe spills off the glass insert and frame promptly; sugary liquids glue the drawers to the rails.
  • Do not load crisper drawers beyond their rim; the frame rails carry the load and wear faster when overloaded.
  • Remove and wash the glass a few times a year, always by lifting it out rather than scrubbing it in place.
  • Check the rear hooks when you clean; a hairline crack caught early avoids a collapsed shelf later.
