The Pan-Crisper is an OEM component specifically designed for Whirlpool refrigerators. Located in the fresh food compartment door, it houses the crisper drawers where vegetables are stored to prolong freshness. Proper pan functioning ensures the drawer glides smoothly and seals shut to regulate humidity levels optimally.
Symptoms of a bad crisper pan include:
- Drawers failing to open or close fully due to warping/deformation
- Excessive condensation buildup caused by compromised seals
- Drawers sticking or binding during operation
Causes are commonly cracking or mineral scale accumulation which can warp the plastic over time. Temperature fluctuations also make them brittle and prone to failure.
This OEM Whirlpool part is compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
