Customer Questions and Answers for Drain Connector by Whirlpool

The Refrigerator Drain Connector is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It is responsible for directing water and condensation from the evaporator fan coil and defrost into the drain pan. 

Causes of a bad drain connector can include cracks, breaks or deformations caused by repeated thermal cycling or impact damage. Mineral or lime buildup inside the connector over many years can also restrict water flow.

Symptoms of a bad drain connector include:

• Water or condensation leaks around the connector area 
• Puddles or watermarks on the floor behind the fridge
• Slow drainage of water from the evaporator fan coil
• Mold or mildew growth near the connector or drain area

This replacement part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
