Kitchenaid Refrigerator KTRC19KMSS03 Leaking

This evaporator tray collects defrost/condensate water and holds it where warm air can evaporate it, helping prevent leaks and odors. Replace a cracked or warped tray to restore proper drainage and protect surrounding floors and cabinetry.

• Collects water from the evaporator/defrost system and contains it safely
• Promotes evaporation using airflow and heat near the condenser area
• Helps prevent puddles beneath the appliance and mildew odors
• Common signs of failure: water on the floor, recurring leaks after defrost, visible cracks/warping, or standing water in the pan

• Disconnect power and allow components to cool before servicing
• Access the tray from the base or rear (panel removal varies by model)
• Transfer any brackets, clips, or grommets from the old tray as needed
• Ensure the drain tube seats fully into the tray and that the tray is level; restore power and check for leaks

The Fresh food door gasket is an OEM component for Whirlpool refrigerators. As the main door seal, this rubber gasket works to prevent air and moisture exchange between the refrigerator interior and exterior. It plays a crucial role in maintaining optimal freshness levels.

Causes of a bad fresh food door gasket include cracks, tears, or compressed sections that no longer form an airtight seal. Prolonged use of 10+ years can cause rubber to break down. Entering/closing the door carelessly could damage the gasket over time as well. 

Symptoms of a bad fresh food door gasket include:

• Frozen items thawing in the fridge shelves
• Increased moisture inside causing ice/fog buildup 
• Higher electricity bills from inefficient cooling
• Warm air entering when opening the door

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