Michael September 05, 2018 for Model Number GX2FHDXVQ00 The drip pan is broken on my Whirlpool Gold Refrigerator/Freezer and needs replacement. Can you give me detailed instructions and the part number?
1 Answer Michael, Part WPW10655367 drip pan is usually held in by snap locks that face the rear of the unit and one to the right side. I believe the condenser fan also needs to be removed. Read More...
David September 09, 2017 for Model Number KBFS20EVBL6 How do I replace the condensate pan on this model.
1 Answer David, In order to replace the condensate pan you will want to lean the unit forward and remove the screws that hold the compressor base on the unit and let the base lean. You will want to remove the back cover and the fan shroud will twist out and come loose and then you remove the drain chute and lift the pan out and install the new one in reverse. Read More...

Rick F January 10, 2016 for Model Number MFX2570AEM3 I own 2012(Dec-28) Maytag Model MFX2570AEM3 four door French door design with exterior water leaking issues. I have already performed clogged evaporator drain clean out per YouTube video. On final inspection of the back access per the repair procedure, I saw W10296785 evaporator pan had hairline crack indications. I taped cracks with electrical tape. I had no leaking for a week, and then observed limited additional leaking. I have done more tape repair now, but I await more issues to appear, expecting that the pan needs to be replaced. Question: Do I need to repair that tips the back of the unit for underneath access using 4x4s or should I be able to use the *simpler* process that twists out the evaporator fan housing to allow pan access and replacement? The repair process of tipping the unit, with perhaps compressor unscrewing, sounds like hire a repairman. Moving the freon discharge tube a little to release the pan is not too concerning for DIY.
1 Answer Rick, With this repair, the most efficient and easiest way to replace the drain pan would be to unplug unit and take the rear cover off. The unit will need to be tilted forward and blocked up. You would then remove the screws from the back lower corners and remove 2 screws at the bottom of the unit. This will allow the compressor base to lower, no need to remove the compressor for this repair. Once the base is dropped you would then be able to remove the drain pan along with the condenser fan and then twist the condenser fan out of the drain pan, install the new pan and twist the condenser pan back in. Reinstall the screws and reassemble the unit. Read More...
Cindy March 11, 2015 for Model Number 59676252702 I need to replace the drip pan on my Kenmore Elite 59676252702. Model number for drip pan is W10189185. How do I remove the pan? Thanks
1 Answer Hello Cindy. To replace the drain pan on this unit you will first need to pull the unit out and unplug the unit. Remove the compressor cover. You will then need to disconnect the condenser fan motor. To get the condenser shroud out of the drain pan you will need to twist it and pull out. This is the most difficult part because you have to work it slowly so that you do no t break the shroud. Once you get the fan shroud out you can then pull the pan out and replace. Reassemble the unit in reverse. Read More...

Kevin May 30, 2014 for Model Number Whirlpool GX5SHDXVB I need to replace a cracked drip pan for a Whirlpool refrigerator model # GX5SHDXVB. I believe the part is W10215085 or W10655368. Is this something that is fairly straight forward to replace for this model? Could you assist in identifying the correct part number and provide some brief instructions? thank you
1 Answer Hello Kevin, Remove the power supply to the unit and verify no power is to the refrigerator before you begin. Remove the water line and move the unit out far enough to sit comfortably in the floor behind the unit. Remove the bottom cover and the condenser fan/bracket assembly. The wire will easily unplug. Remove the bolts/nuts that secure the compressor to the main base. The critical part of this job is to try to move the compressor only as far as necessary to get the old pan out and the new one WP12579803 in without breaking the hermetic seal containing the Freon in the sealed system. You will have to bend several Freon lines a bit to accomplish this and you will need to bend them back during the reassembly but try not to crimp any lines either as this will affect the units' operation. When the components are back in place, you should reconnect the water supply and connect to power before re-installing the machine compartment cardboard air directing cover. Don't forget to reconnect the wiring connector to the condenser fan motor. Once you have checked for leaks and no abnormal vibrating noises are noticed, re-install the rear cover. Read More...
