Backofbook for Model Number ET1MHKXMT00 The freezer drain on my Whirlpool refrigerator keeps icing over causing water to accumulate inside the veggie drawer and bottom of the fresh food compartment. I have installed the 819043 Probe Kit and wonder if this will cause damage to the drain or worse, if it might cause a fire. I see this topic has been brought up here and one answer was that it won't get hot enough to cause damage and the water cools it off also. Another answer was that the probe must be trimmed to not contact the drain as it would cause damage. Which answer is correct or does it depend on the model?

Of course you will not want the metal part hanging from a red hot element to contact rubber or plastic while some models incorporate a metal liner. Read More...
