Description

This drip tray collects and channels defrost and condensation water away from the refrigerator cabinet to prevent leaks and puddles. It helps keep the interior base area dry and directs meltwater to the drain system. What it does:

• Catches meltwater from the evaporator during defrost cycles to prevent pooling under the cabinet
• Channels water toward the refrigerator's drain system to reduce leaks and floor damage
• Helps limit ice buildup and moisture-related odors around the freezer base
• Common symptom: visible water or puddling under or beside the fridge, or excessive moisture in the base pan area

What's included:

• One drip tray as shown

Install notes:

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid electrical shock
• Remove food and, if needed, the lower access panel or kickplate to access the tray
• Inspect adjacent drain tubing and grommets while replacing the tray to ensure proper drainage
• Reinstall panels and restore power; run a short defrost or water cycle to ensure proper drainage
