The Drip Pan is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. Located beneath the refrigerator, it collects and holds water that drips from the defrost system, preventing it from leaking onto the floor.
Causes of a bad drip pan can include cracks or holes from physical damage, warping from exposure to temperature fluctuations, or excessive buildup of dirt and mold.
Symptoms of a bad drip pan include:
- Water pooling under the refrigerator
- Visible cracks, holes, or warping in the pan
- Mold or mildew growth in the pan
- Unpleasant odors emanating from the refrigerator base
This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper and some Kenmore models.

Water leaking on the floor Donald W. • Rockledge , FL • March 17, 2015
After trying to stop leaks with glue, i figured I should replace the drip pan, It took a little effort to get the fan out of the way but once that was taken care of the rest was simple. Putting the new pan in was very easy five minutes at most. The best part was the great delivery I got from appliance parts, and this is not a paid commercial. THANKS!!!
