What Does the Norcold 641586 Do?
The 641586 kit contains the primary support and tracking hardware used by the freezer drawer and upper freezer bin. These components keep the freezer drawer properly aligned while allowing it to open and close smoothly.
A damaged bracket, slide, rail, or wheel can cause the freezer assembly to sag, bind, sit crooked, or become difficult to operate.

Estimated Installation Time: Approximately 30–60 minutes.
Common Tools

Nut driver or small socket set

Work light
-
Small container for screws and hardware
The freezer bins and drawer assembly will typically need to be removed to access the brackets, slides, and guide rails.
Potential Installation Issues
Drawer Alignment
The left and right brackets and rails need to be installed evenly. Improper alignment can cause the drawer to bind or sit unevenly after installation.
Inspect the Drawer Mounts
The 641586 kit does not replace the refrigerator-side freezer drawer mounts. If those mounting points are also damaged, Norcold lists a separate 641589 Freezer Drawer Mounts Kit.
Check for Additional Damage
Inspect the freezer door, upper and lower bins, mounting locations, and surrounding hardware while the drawer is disassembled. Replacing the rail hardware will not correct a damaged drawer or broken cabinet-side mounting point.
