I need replacement fridge shelves. I want a wire one.

I have the model name, #, the depth, with & slot measurement; when I bought the fridge in 2002, it had glass. I really don't want that again, shattered.

Is it possible ro get a wire shelf instead?

Thx

Probably not much life left in it, and the new ones are much more efficient.

39 years old and it still does it's job. It's mainly used for extra storage for drinks, fruits and it really comes in handy for the Holiday's.

I really hope that it doesn't die anytime soon.

and freezer shelves with wire closet shelving. You can buy it by the foot at Lowe’s and cut it to size.

You might have to be creative about mounting, and you’ll probably give up some depth, but it is doable.
