The Extension is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It helps remove excess water from the defrost process and directs it to the drain pan, preventing water buildup and potential leaks.
A bad extension can be caused by blockages, clogs, or damage to the pipe itself. If you notice water pooling inside the refrigerator orleaking onto the floor, it may indicate a problem with the extension.
Symptoms of a bad extension include:
- Water pooling inside the refrigerator or leaking onto the floor
- Excessive frost or ice buildup in the freezer compartment
- Unpleasant odors from the refrigerator
This Whirlpool part can also be used on Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears brand appliances.
