The Drip Pan is an OEM part for Whirlpool ranges and ovens. It is a removable tray positioned at the bottom of the oven cavity, designed to catch any spills, drips, or food debris that may fall during cooking.

A faulty or damaged drip pan can lead to a buildup of spills and debris, which can cause smoke, odors, and even potential fire hazards if not addressed promptly. Causes of a bad drip pan include warping or discoloration from excessive heat exposure, cracks or holes that allow liquids to seep through, or simply wear and tear over time.

Symptoms that may indicate a need for replacement include:

• Visible cracks, holes, or warping in the drip pan
• Difficulty sliding the pan in or out of the oven cavity
• Persistent smoke or odors from burnt-on spills or debris
• Leaks or spillovers from a damaged or ill-fitting pan

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

This fixed thermostat switches near 60C to control a heat-managed circuit—often the oven's cooling/blower fan. Replacing a failed unit restores proper fan cycling and helps protect the control area from excessive heat during and after cooking.

• Monitors temperature in the oven cabinet/control area and switches power based on heat level
• Cycles the cooling/blower fan on and off to manage cabinet temperature
• Helps safeguard electronic controls from heat buildup
• Failure may cause symptoms such as a fan that won't run, a fan that runs continuously, or an unusually hot control area

• Disconnect power at the breaker before servicing
• Access the thermostat per your model; it is typically mounted to a plenum or bracket near the oven cavity
• Move wires one at a time and mount the new thermostat flat against the surface for accurate sensing
• Restore power and verify the fan cycles during operation
