Range Storage Drawer Sticking or Falling Off Track? Rear Drawer Glide 3051163 – Fix It Fast

A broken or worn rear drawer glide is the most common reason a Whirlpool or Maytag range storage drawer sticks, derails, or won't slide smoothly. In most Whirlpool-platform ranges, this is caused by a cracked or worn rear glide that no longer supports the drawer track properly. When it fails, the drawer binds, tilts, or falls out of the cabinet entirely — making the storage compartment unusable and creating a safety hazard near the floor. ⚡ Common wear item in Whirlpool and Maytag freestanding ranges. Part 3051163 is the genuine OEM rear drawer glide that restores smooth, secure drawer operation immediately.

❓ Is This the Right Part?

This is the correct fix if ALL of the following are true:

• ✔ Range operates normally — only the storage drawer is affected
• ✔ Drawer slides in and out but catches, tilts, or derails at the rear
• ✔ Front drawer glides are intact — only the rear support is broken or missing
• ✔ Drawer track itself is undamaged — only the glide/support piece is failed
• ✔ ONLY problem is the rear drawer not tracking or supporting correctly
