I need to replace some shelf support studs in the refer side of this unit and I have found the replacements but have no idea how to remove the old and broken ones. Can anyone out there help me out with this? I’m sure it is simple but I don’t want to break the liner in my attempt to repair a shelf! :confused:

Mike, I’m not sure if the Maytag part that you mention is the same as the Roper/Whirlpool part that I replaced, but I found that there are flat spots on the sides if these studs and that if you grasp those studs with a pair if pliers at the flat spots and turn them 90 degrees to the right they will then pull out quite easily. The replacement studs can then be inserted in the hole (I put in a small amount of silicone first to fill any voids) and then turned 90 degrees to the right again to lock them in place.

I hope this helps.
