Whirlpool Refrigerator 5VWT71REYF00 Leaking

Evaporator drip pan that collects defrost water and directs it to the drain, helping prevent leaks and puddles under the appliance. Restores proper drainage for reliable operation. What it does:

• Catches and channels defrost/condensate water away from the evaporator to prevent leaks beneath the unit.
• Helps stop water pooling or dripping from the bottom of the appliance.
• Reduces the risk of moisture-related odors or mildew by keeping drainage contained.
• Works with the refrigerator's drain system to promote normal defrost water flow.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any service.
• Access may require removing the toe grille or pulling the appliance out; follow the OEM service instructions for your model.
• Inspect and clear the drain tube and drain outlet while replacing the pan to ensure proper flow.
• Handle the pan carefully during installation and ensure it is seated so water flows into the drain as intended.

The Ice Maker Water Line is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It supplies water from the household plumbing to the ice maker, ensuring a consistent and reliable production of ice cubes. This kit includes a 1/4-inch plastic water line that is approximately 72 inches long. The tubing will need to be cut to match the desired length.

Causes of a bad water line can include wear and tear from prolonged use, kinks or bends restricting water flow, or leaks due to punctures or cracks. A compromised water line can result in inadequate ice production or water leaks.

Symptoms of a bad ice maker water line include:

• Reduced or no ice production
• Leaking water from the refrigerator
• Visible cracks or damage to the water line
• Ice cubes that are smaller than usual

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

This gasket/seal creates a tight barrier between two mating parts in your appliance to prevent leaks and performance loss. Replacing a worn gasket restores proper sealing and helps stop seepage at the joint. What it does

• Forms a reliable seal between components to prevent fluid or air leaks
• Maintains proper operation by keeping the sealed area contained
• Replaces gaskets that are brittle, cracked, flattened, or swollen
• Common signs include residue or moisture around the joint, visible wear on the old gasket, or a loose/poor seal

• 1 gasket/seal

• Disconnect power and any water or gas supply before servicing
• Note the gasket's orientation; compare old and new parts before installation
• Clean and dry mating surfaces; remove old adhesive and debris
• Seat the gasket evenly; do not overtighten fasteners; test for leaks after reassembly
