The Drip Pan is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. Located beneath the refrigerator, it collects and holds water that drips from the defrost system, preventing it from leaking onto the floor.  

Causes of a bad drip pan can include cracks or holes from physical damage, warping from exposure to temperature fluctuations, or excessive buildup of dirt and mold.  

Symptoms of a bad drip pan include:

• Water pooling under the refrigerator
• Visible cracks, holes, or warping in the pan
• Mold or mildew growth in the pan
• Unpleasant odors emanating from the refrigerator base

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

The Shaft is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. This component serves as the axle for the refrigerator's wheels, allowing for smooth movement when repositioning or cleaning the appliance. It is designed to fit securely and ensure stability during use. The shaft's approximate length is 26 inches.

Common causes of a bad wheel shaft include excessive weight, rough handling during relocation, or wear and tear over time.

Symptoms of a bad wheel shaft include:

• Difficulty moving the refrigerator
• Unstable or wobbly positioning

• Helps reduce vibration resonance transmitted through the cabinet
• Restores sound control when original insulation is torn, saturated, or missing
• Common symptoms: increased humming, buzzing, or rattling from the back or bottom of the refrigerator

• Disconnect power and pull the refrigerator forward for rear access
• Remove the lower rear access panel and note the insulation's placement/orientation
• Position the new pad in the same location; keep clear of coils, wiring, airflow paths, and moving parts
• Reinstall the access panel and restore power; verify no contact or obstruction

Symptoms of a bad door bushing include:

• Door not opening or closing smoothly
• Squeaking or grinding noises when moving the door
• Door misalignment
• Increased difficulty in opening or closing the door

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