The grill recess is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It is responsible for catching drips and spills from the water and ice dispenser. Over time, the tray can become damaged from repeated use and exposure to moisture. Causes of a failing drip tray include cracks, warping, and degradation of the plastic.
Symptoms of a bad dispenser drip tray include:
- Water leakage onto the floor
- Difficulty sliding the tray in and out
- Cracks, breaks or improper fit
- Spills not contained in the tray
This OEM Whirlpool tray is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Admiral, Magic Chef, and Kenmore models.
