Problem

On the Bosch fridge-freezer KGE39ALCA/11, the lower door shelf, drinks shelf or bottle shelf is broken. As a result, bottles or glasses can no longer stand securely in the refrigerator door, and there is a risk that contents may fall out or leak.

Possible diagnosis

The available material does not describe an electrical or refrigeration-system fault, but a damaged plastic door shelf. The replacement is expected to concern only the door shelf in the refrigerator door. Electrical covers, wiring or refrigerant components must not be opened for this.

Is repair worthwhile?

Economic viability is unclear because no costs are stated. Since this concerns only a single door shelf, replacing the entire appliance cannot be derived from the available information.

When to use a professional

According to the available material, a specialist company is normally not required for this purely mechanical replacement. However, if the power cord, housing insulation or other safety-relevant parts are damaged, customer service should be commissioned.

Parts and compatibility

The lower door shelf / bottle rack with Bosch/BSH part number 00704760, alternatively 704760, is named as the likely suitable spare part. The assignment has high, but not absolute, certainty. Before purchase, the full E-number KGE39ALCA/11, the installation position “lower door shelf/bottle shelf” and the dimensions of the old shelf should be checked, as similar door shelves can look very similar.
