Replacing endcap part #W10121977
Just completed this project. First of all, there are NO screws to remove. Smack in the middle of the endcap slightly below midline there is a rectangle in "portrait orientation" with a tab in it. Reach in and gently pull tab forward while pulling entire assembly upward and it will pop off. Pull the assembly forward and the perpendicular connecting piece will roll forward as well. At a certain point, the end of the pependicular piece (the one attached to the back of the frig) will pop out as it is just wedged into a small vertical notch in the back wall. Take the entire assembly out of the frig and close the door because i promise you that the door is beeping you and the temp has risen to almost 50 degrees. to remove the sliding portion, you need to depress the remaining two tabs from behind to release the sliding portion and gently squeeze the two tabs on the end of the end cap so that you can separate the two pieces. Go slowly as these pieces are flimsy and fragile. You will have to rotate pieces at the back and front of the endcap to get the pieces out that you need to put back on the new endcap. The drawer slide comes out by depressing the remaining tab (just left of the tab that released the assembly to begin with.). Once you have the new "L" shaped assembly, you are ready to put it in. Start with fitting the back piece back into the tab at the rear of the frig. Fit the assembly into the corner, hold the original tab down and it will snap into place easily. Putting the cover back into place is a bit tricky, you will have to stick the hole of one side od the cover first and then gently pull back the tab on the other side to accommodate the other side hole. I was super careful because I didn't want to break the cover tab that made me have to change the end cabin the first place.
