Hello Peter, Your model actually calls for 4388539 and 4388538. It looks like the kit W11581579 you were viewing has the correct parts in it, we cannot guarantee it since it does not come up under this model number.

Ann for Model Number ED20ZKXBWOO

I have a ED20ZKXBWOO model refrigerator/freezer, and one of the freezer shelf brackets has broken off. It is on the right side of the freezer compartment, about halfway up. The white plastic "slider" that slides over this bracket is intact, I just need the actual piece that somehow attaches to the wall of the freezer and holds the weight of the shelf. All I can see is what looks like a broken-off screw-head, or rusty nailhead, protruding about an eight of an inch from the wall. A piece of white plastic appears to have broken off from that. How do we get the old piece out without damaging the hole for the new piece? And what exactly is the new piece that goes in there? I assume it is one of the pieces from Part No. AP3109341, but I can't tell from the broken unit what the intact bracket looked like before it broke. Thank you!

Jacqueline, If there is no screw holding the stud to the wall, then it is a "twist " fit. You may need a pair of pliers, to grip the remainder of the stud and turn it 90 dgrs. and remove it. Thanks and Good Luck

Donna, 4388538 is the part number supplied by the manufacturer for a shelf stud repair kit, for the model number you supplied. You'll need one kit per loose or broken stud. The W11581579 will have extra parts you may not need and has two shelf studs, depending on which style is used in your unit. Good Luck and Thanks
