Frigidaire Freezer Drip Pan

This condensate drain pan sits at the base of the refrigerator to collect defrost water and allow it to evaporate over the warm compressor, helping prevent floor puddles, moisture damage, and musty odors around the unit.

• Collects and holds defrost condensate from the drain tube (also called a drain pan or drip tray)
• Stages water to evaporate safely using compressor/condenser heat
• Replace if the pan is cracked, warped, missing, or leaking
• Common symptoms: water under/behind the refrigerator, damp flooring, or persistent musty odors near the bottom rear

• Unplug the refrigerator and pull it away from the wall; shut off water supply if connected
• Remove the rear lower access panel to reach the pan near the compressor
• Lift out the old pan; clear any debris from the drain outlet; transfer original mounting hardware if needed
• Seat the new pan level under the drain tube; ensure it's secure and reinstall the access panel

This drain pan collects and channels defrost water from the evaporator to the refrigerator's drain system, preventing water buildup and keeping the cabinet dry. It restores normal drainage and helps avoid interior leaks and ice buildup. What it does:

• Catches defrost melt and funnels condensate to the drain line
• Prevents water pooling under or inside the refrigerator cabinet
• Helps reduce ice formation around the evaporator area when drainage is restored
• Limits odors caused by trapped standing water

• One drain pan

• Disconnect power before starting and remove food from affected compartments
• Remove access panels to reach the evaporator area; some models require partial disassembly
• Clear any clogged drain lines and verify pan is seated and aligned before reassembly
