Whirlpool Range Grill Support (W11724411) (Replaces W10288008, W10909479)

The grill support is a structural bracket inside your range that holds the broiler grill or oven rack at the correct position during cooking. It anchors to the interior walls of the oven cavity and keeps the grill level and stable so food cooks evenly under the broiler element. Important Compatibility Note: Part number W11724411 is the current manufacturer-approved replacement for the following discontinued part number(s): W10288008, W10909479. If your appliance documentation or old part uses any of these numbers, this is the correct, updated component for your repair. Grill supports commonly fail from repeated exposure to high broiling temperatures, which can cause the metal to warp, crack, or weaken over time. Accidental impacts from heavy pans, grease buildup causing corrosion, or rough handling during cleaning can also bend or break the support, leaving the grill unable to sit properly in place. If you notice any of these symptoms, your grill support may need to be replaced: - Broiler grill or rack sits unevenly or tilts to one side during use - Grill slides out unexpectedly or does not lock into position - Visible cracks, bends, or breaks in the support bracket - Grill wobbles or shifts when food is placed on it - Difficulty sliding the broiler rack in or out smoothly - Oven rack appears lower on one side than the other - Support no longer lines up with the mounting points on the oven wall
