You just slide off the broken part and replace it with a new part. I had to make a slight adjustment to the end of the shelf rail to allow the new piece to properly mate with the old shelf rail.

it was great. I ordered the capacitor for my frigidaire frig and it arrived
in 3 days. plugged in the part to the compressor and my frig has been
working ever since. I spent 3 minutes ordering the part and 30 seconds
attaching it to the frig. Easy, very easy. saved myself a 75 dollar repair
visit. thanks

I inherited this old refrigerator as part of the space where I now live. I found the bottom shelf bar for the door tucked away under the sink, but there were no brackets. I'm sure they were broken and discarded at some earlier time.

I snapped the brackets into the ends of the shelf bar, then inserted them into the holes in the door and pulled down each end until it snapped in place.
