How do you adjust freezer basket dividers?
We have a similar, though not identical Maytag/Whirlpool refrigerator with bottom freezer. My comments refer to our specific freezer, it is possible that there is some variance in the freezer baskets. Although it LOOKS like you ought to be able to adjust the divider from side to side, with our basket, you CANNOT. the key is to look at the spacing of the wire pieces that make up the basket body. On ours, the spacing at the center, where the divider is factory mounted, is wider than all the adjacent wire pieces. This means that in locations other than the center, the divider does not fit. We just removed the divider to give more flexible placement of items. To remove the divider I suggest first pulling the entire basket out of the freezer. Take your food out so you can turn the basket sideways, and you will see the clip mechanism that is built-in to the divider itself. You need to use a flat screwdriver or similar tool to flex the inner part of the clip back and then wiggle the divider until it pops free of the basket. Repeat process on the other end of the divider.
