This product is a Whirlpool refrigerator drip pan for the evaporator. The drip pan is in place to catch water created from defrosting or condensation created by the evaporator. A damaged or clogged pan will lead to water leaking underneath the appliance. Substantial leaks from the refrigerator need to be inspected. Typically the two leading causes would be a worn-out seal from the door causing ice to melt or a clogged or damaged drip pan. Carefully examine the drip pan to ensure it's not just a clog, which is easily fixable. Any cracks or more significant damage means a replacement should be ordered.Access the drip pan by removing the bottom vent of the refrigerator. The drip pan is connected to the evaporator. Unplug the refrigerator to ensure safety before making any repairs. Carefully unscrew the nut that fastens the connecting line between the evaporator and the drip pan with a wrench. Remove the old drip pan and insert the new product. Make sure the nut is tight enough to make a good connection between the evaporator and the new component.This product is compatible with Whirlpool, Admiral, Magic Chef, Jenn-Air, and KitchenAid appliances. This is a genuine OEM product sourced directly from the original manufacturer.
