546952P Genuine Telescopic Oven Shelf Assembly for Fisher & Paykel Ovens OB76DDEPX3 OB76SDEPX3 OB76DDEPX2 OB76SDEPX2 OB76DDEPM1

Fisher & Paykel OB76 ovens use this genuine telescopic shelf assembly, part 546952P, which may also be listed as plain 546952. Being telescopic, the shelf runs out on extending runners, so you can check or lift a heavy dish without reaching into the hot oven. It is on file for the OB76DDEPX1, OB76DDEPX2 and OB76DDEPX3, the OB76SDEPX1, OB76SDEPX2 and OB76SDEPX3, and the OB76DDEPM1 and OB76SDEPM1.

Replacing a bent or stiff telescopic oven shelf

A telescopic shelf combines the wire shelf with a pair of sliding runners, so the shelf glides out of the oven while it stays level on the side supports. Over time the runners can stiffen with baked-on grease or get damaged, and a shelf can bend under a heavy roasting dish or after a drop. Common complaints are a shelf that jams halfway, wobbles or tips when extended, or will not sit flat on its supports. A shelf that binds is more than an annoyance, because a jerky slide with a full tray is how spills and burns happen.

Fitting the new shelf

Make sure the oven is off and completely cool. Pull out the old shelf and note which shelf position it came from and which way it faces. Slide the new shelf in on the same supports and push it fully home until it sits level. Extend it a few times while empty to check it runs smoothly before loading it with a dish.

Questions about this part

How many telescopic shelves does my oven take?

That depends on how the oven was supplied. Some ovens come with one telescopic shelf and the rest are flat wire shelves. Check your user manual, or count the shelves that slide out on runners, before ordering.
