GE Lower Freezer Basket Slide (WR72X24815)

The GE Lower Freezer Basket Slide is the metal rail assembly that the lower freezer basket rides on in your GE bottom-freezer refrigerator. It mounts to the freezer wall and carries the basket on a roller so the drawer glides in and out smoothly while keeping the basket level under a full load of frozen food.

The GE Lower Freezer Basket Slide can wear out, bend, or lose its roller over time from heavy loads, repeated use, or ice buildup in the track. Once the rail is damaged the basket drags, tilts, or drops off the track, and forcing it can crack the basket itself or strip the mounting points.

These symptoms can help you decide if this basket slide needs to be replaced:

• Lower freezer basket drags, sticks, or will not slide in or out smoothly
• Basket sags, tilts, or falls off the rail when pulled out
• Roller is cracked, missing, or no longer turns
• Rail is bent, rusted, or has broken mounting tabs
• Basket sits unevenly or rubs against the freezer wall or door
• Grinding or scraping noise when opening the freezer drawer
