Whirlpool Drip Tray W10199913 OEM Part

Whirlpool Corporation manufactures a variety of brands, including Whirlpool, Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. They also produce items for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea. The product in focus here is a Whirlpool refrigerator evaporator drain tray assembly, designed to collect water that results from defrosting or condensation processes. If the drain tray becomes damaged or obstructed, it may lead to water leakage beneath the unit. Significant leaks necessitate an examination, as they typically result from either a deteriorated door seal, causing ice to thaw or issues with the drain tray components. A quick inspection can reveal whether the tray is simply obstructed, which is often straightforward to resolve. However, any cracks or significant damage require a replacement of the tray.

To access the drain tray, begin by removing the bottom vent of the refrigerator. It is connected to the evaporator unit. For safety considerations, disconnect the power supply before initiating any maintenance procedures. Employ a wrench to loosen the nut that fastens the line linking the evaporator and the tray. After replacing the old tray with the new one, ensure the connection is secure by tightening the nut adequately.

This drain tray is compatible with appliances under the Whirlpool, Admiral, Magic Chef, Jenn-Air, and KitchenAid brands. It qualifies as a genuine OEM component, obtained directly from the original equipment manufacturer.
