Thank you! I read the manual & couldn't find any reference to cleaning spills that seeped between the glass & ledge. That darn temperature slider wouldn't let it come loose. Yes. You can reach under via the middle drawer & push up the glass towards the rear.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I have been struggling with this stupid shelf for 24 hrs and can't get it clean. Some of the previous answers indicate that you can get the glass out, others say no. I have tried soaking it in hot soapy water but the stain is still between the glass and the frame. Is it possible to remove the glass in the full shelf or not? If not, why do you continue to make it that way when it can't be cleaned?
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.According to Whirlpool this self can't be removed - and I can't seem to figure out a way to remove it - but there was a spill, so there is stuff under the glass shelf that is driving me crazy. That's an extremely poor design element if that shelf can't be removed. Honestly..... Won't buy another Whirlpool appliance because of this.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I was getting discouraged reading this answer and then my husband simply lifted the glass from the back at a tilt and it came right up. :)
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I just had this issue and came here looking for an answer! The bottom shelf glass does not detach on mine but I figured out how to clean it anyways. I put the shelf upside down in the bathtub with soapy water and a small bit of bleach and let it sit. All the stains came out from under the glass after a few hours! Hope this helps anyone else who stumbles onto this thread in the future.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Thank you to Anonymous. Don’t know why this isn’t in the manual, but you made by day. Cleaning the refrigerator was my Coronavirus productive activity for today. And thanks to you we could deal with the spills under the edge of the large glass shelf.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I have a slightly different- older model- WRX735SDBM00, but same issue having difficulty getting the bottom crisper glass shelf out. after removing the large crisper basket I crawled (!) into the open and now empty crisper drawer. After cleaning and wetting the shelf as much as I could, the glass shelf loosened up. After several unsuccessful tries I was able to wiggle with one hand the back plastic shelf support while pushing the back of the shelf up and it came loose. My husband was then able to grab it and remove it. For my next fridge I will research the ease of cleaning first!
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I read all the suggestions. When the shelf was at room temperature I put it in the sink and pried the 1 1/2" wide white plastic flange covering the visible dried meat juice up slightly with toothpicks. I sprayed this area with white vinegar, let it run under the plastic and let it sit. After that I sprayed this area with warm water. Then my husband removed the two screws from each side and was able to work the flange gently away from the glass. It was really dirty and sticky underneath it but the vinegar had loosened the gunk up and the edge of the glass was easy to clean once the plastic was removed. Reassembly once everything is dry should not be difficult. Now I am wondering what is underneath the other refrigerator shelf flanges! I could not find anything in the manuals about cleaning these shelves other than wiping them with soapy water. That would not have touched the brown stains left by the meat juice that were unreachable but annoyingly visible. This is not a great design. In fact the plastic shelf was partially broken in another area. It was clear that the previous fridge owner had tried to clean it by prying it off.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I have a KitchenAid French door 704. Took over 2 hours, but it's a $5K frig and embarrassing to get compliments only to have company look inside and see the gross glass channel trapping liquids. Was able to loosen the glass running warm water from faucet on room temp shelf while wedging popsicle sticks and bamboo skewers at one inch increments wiggling loose the silicone between the glass and the shelf. The shorter sides were not glued so I was able to access a starting corner. I also tried a heat gun, but did not make a noticeable difference loosening the silicone. Kept towels underneath while working to buffer sharp corners and just in case the glass came out quickly. There is a metal bar with 3 screws on the backside. This bar has nothing to do with the glass so no need to remove.
I would recommend:
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes you can per everyone. Did not notice coke was spilled all the way down to bottom glass until weeks later. The coke made the glass stick in the back like it was glued. Used putty knife to gently lift from underneath after middle drawer plastic insert removal. Cleaned up everything and reinserted.
