Customer Questions and Answers for Refrigerator Evaporator Drip Tray by Whirlpool

Tony, The drip tray is does not have to be taken out to clean but if you want to clean it then you would access from the front. You will first need to pull the unit out and turn off the water supply. Once off you will remove the kickplate in the front and remove the filter housing. Once the filter housing has been completely removed you will be able to pull the drip tray out. Make sure that the tape on the front and back are removed as this will cause the pan to crack when pulling it out if it is not removed.
