The Stove Top Drip Pan is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool gas and electric ranges. It is located underneath the stove burners and grates to catch and contain grease drippings and spills. Over time, grease and cooking residue buildup can cause drip pans to crack, warp or corrode.

Symptoms of a bad stove top drip pan include:

• Grease spillovers outside of the drip pan area
• Flames or heating elements obstructed by built-up debris
• Warping or cracking of the pan surface
• Difficulty removing or cleaning the drip pan

Causes can be normal wear from heat and long-term grease exposure. Accidental damage during cleaning is also possible. 

 This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, Jenn-Air, Amana and some Kenmore models. 

The Stove Top Drip Pan is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool ranges. It is the shallow metal pan located below the stove burner elements that collects grease and food particles. The drip pan helps direct spills and drips away from the burner area to the bottom drawer for easy cleanup. 

Symptoms of a bad drip pan include:

• Grease or food spilling below the burners outside of the pan
• Burner elements showing signs of corrosion or damage from drips
• The drip pan no longer fitting properly or securely in place

Causes can be warping or damage of the drip pan over time due to exposure to heat. Dents and structural changes compromise its ability to direct drips properly.

This OEM replacement part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
