Crisper Bin 2188656 Upper for Whirlpool Refrigerators - Durable OEM

In this review of the Lifetime Appliance Parts 2188656 crisper bin, the bottom line is simple: this is a practical replacement for owners who need the UPPER refrigerator drawer and want a close match to the original. The review finds it best for users who confirmed compatibility by checking their model number and need a like-for-like part that installs easily. The single biggest reason to choose this bin is its precise fit and appearance match to many Whirlpool and Kenmore original bins, making it a straightforward repair for a commonly worn or cracked drawer.

Key Features

• Exact fit option: The part is sold as the UPPER crisper bin only, which ensures buyers replacing that exact component get a correct replacement when their model lists part number 2188656.
• Multiple part cross-references: Listed part numbers such as WP2188656 and AP6006055 help confirm compatibility when checking a fridge parts breakdown.
• Visible humidity control requirement: The bin is intended for models with humidity control on the front trim, which prevents incorrect installation in incompatible units.
• Durable materials: The drawer is made from premium plastic designed to match the original shelf and is backed by a one-year warranty for buyer confidence.
• Clear sizing: Concrete dimensions are provided so buyers can compare measurements: 16-1/2in front length, 14-3/8in back length, 14-7/8in depth, and 7-5/8in height.

Who It's For

This replacement drawer is ideal for homeowners and repair technicians who have identified a Whirlpool or Kenmore refrigerator model that specifically lists part number 2188656 in its parts breakdown. It suits people who value an appearance match and straightforward swap-in installation when the original upper crisper is cracked or missing.

It is not for buyers who are unsure of their model compatibility, who need the lower bin (part number 2188664), or who do not have the humidity control on the front trim. Those users should consult their fridge model parts list rather than rely on similar measurements alone.
