Evaporator drip pan that collects defrost water and directs it to the drain, helping prevent leaks and puddles under the appliance. Restores proper drainage for reliable operation. What it does:
- Catches and channels defrost/condensate water away from the evaporator to prevent leaks beneath the unit.
- Helps stop water pooling or dripping from the bottom of the appliance.
- Reduces the risk of moisture-related odors or mildew by keeping drainage contained.
- Works with the refrigerator's drain system to promote normal defrost water flow.
What's included: One evaporator drip pan. Install notes:
- Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any service.
- Access may require removing the toe grille or pulling the appliance out; follow the OEM service instructions for your model.
- Inspect and clear the drain tube and drain outlet while replacing the pan to ensure proper flow.
- Handle the pan carefully during installation and ensure it is seated so water flows into the drain as intended.

Cracked leaked drain pan Andrew W. • Union City , CA • April 03, 2015
I took all the food out of the fridge, and tilted the refrigerator 30degrees to the left (if looking straight at the fridge).
I unscrewed the cardboard backing, and moved the drip tube from the drain pan.
I unscrewed the 4 screws for the drain pan, and the 2 hex screws holding up the metal plate on the left side (becuase there is a lip on the metal plate that holds the pan in). Then I could slightly pull down on the metal plate and pull the drain pan out. Then popped the new drain pan in.
