mystery fridge shelf

July 17, 2013 10:28 PM

We have a refrigerator/freezer shelf that fits in the door of our GE Profile fridge, but isn't shaped in a way that actually holds anything...if we put stuff in there, it just falls out. Dr. Google and the GE website are not helping me. What is this shelf for and can we use it for anything?

what's the model number of your fridge and year?

GE employee here. What's the model # of your Profile refrigerator?

Could it be associated with GE's Quick Serve™ Storage Dishes? See dimensions at that link. Ebay seems rich with parts.

Mumkin is correct. See the bottom of page 15 in this PDF to see the shelf in action.

Model no TBX22PAXFRBB.

Can't find a year on the sticker. Wasn't new in 2009 when it became ours, spouse estimates 8-10 years old. Will check out link to quick serve gizmos.

Mumkin and paperback version have it.

If you go to www.GEAppliances.com, click on 'Support' at the top of the page, then choose 'Parts and Accessories' under 'Owner's Center', that will take you to the Parts/Accessories store. Input your model # in the Search box in the upper right hand corner of the page, and you can access exploded parts diagrams of your refrigerator. You'll find your shelf under "fresh food door" parts.

Thanks all...those links from mumkin & paperback got it right. Impressed, as always, by the super speed of the hive mind.
