Same problem for us. I fixed it on the road by laying in a blob of JB Quick. Push some inside the hole, smoosh the broken pieces over the blob of JB and finally shape the outside smooth with wet fingers.
All this must be done in under five minutes as that is how fast JB sets up. Be sure to get JB Quick, the regular stuff will not work cause it will sag during the longer set up time.
I did mine on a running cold fridge, put the shelf back in the next day and that was the end of that. :B
If your repair is a little too big, the JB can be sanded or filed down to fit.
If you have not used JB Quick before, practice with a small blob on a piece of cardboard to see how it works before applying it to your fridge. Read the directions on the package first.
Keep the heavy stuff out of that shelf.
