The Dispenser Drip Tray is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators featuring built-in water dispensers. Located underneath the outlet spout, it collects any accidental water overflow or spilled cubes to prevent messes.
Causes of a bad dispenser drip tray involve cracks interfering with its collection surface, or warping preventing it from fully guiding water into the pan below. Damage risks difficulties.
Symptoms include:
- Water collecting outside the tray area on the cabinetry below
- Dispenser outlet jams from backflow during partial fills
- Ice cube spills create a slipping hazard on the floor
- Increased effort required to avoid messes during dispensing
This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with some GE, Kenmore, and LG refrigerator models.
