Key Features

• Exact upper shelf sizing: Measures 17-5/16in wide x 16-3/8in deep so buyers can check fit before ordering to avoid returns.
• 9H tempered glass: The 3mm thick tempered construction provides strength and safer breakage behavior compared with ordinary glass.
• Food-grade material: Certified food-grade glass gives an added level of assurance for storing perishables directly on the shelf.
• OEM-equivalent fit: Replaces multiple part numbers such as W11135529, 4547258, PS12348757 and AP6286990 for straightforward swapping in many models.
• Wide brand compatibility: Works with selected models from Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid and Ikea, making it useful for a variety of full-size and RV refrigerators.

Who It's For

This glass shelf suits homeowners and RV owners who need a reliable replacement for an upper refrigerator shelf and who can confirm the 17-5/16in x 16-3/8in dimensions match their unit. It is particularly relevant for users seeking a heavy, tempered surface that mirrors the original shelf in look and strength.

Shoppers who should look elsewhere include those whose models require different mounting clips, non-standard shapes, or markedly different dimensions; also customers who prefer adjustable wire shelving or plastic crisper-style surfaces rather than a fixed glass shelf.
