This part is a replacement evaporator made by Whirlpool and sourced directly from the manufacturer. This part can be used to replace a faulty or broken evaporator in a variety of different refrigerator models. The evaporator works to cool the refrigerator itself by acting as a heat exchanger. If this part is malfunctioning, the refrigerator likely will not be able to maintain cold temperatures or may stop working all together. In order to successfully repair this part, the refrigerant will need to be recovered and recharged within the sealed system. Always disconnect power from the appliance before starting any work or repairs. It is recommended that work gloves are worn to protect the hands. As an authentic replacement part, this evaporator is suitable for use on several different models of refrigerators that have been manufactured by Whirlpool, Maytag, Kitchenaid, and several other brands. This is a genuine part made of high-quality, durable materials and is sold individually.
