The Drain Funnel is an OEM part for Whirlpool French door refrigerators. It serves as the sloped plastic strainer that guides water from the evaporator coils s it into the drip pan below.
Causes of a faulty Drain Funnel include cracks or punctures developing from continuous use transferring water weight. Mineral deposits or food particles that gradually collect on funnel surfaces could restrict proper drainage as well over time.
Symptoms involve:
- Puddling or spilled water inside refrigerator interiors
- Uncontrolled leaks potentially damaging other components
- Restricted airflow if funnel clogs from sediment buildup
- Musty odors developing without efficient drainage management
This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
