Whirlpool Evaporator Cover W11167902 OEM Part

The Evaporator Cover is an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) part specifically crafted for Whirlpool refrigerators and is compatible with various models, including those from Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore. This integral component serves as an insulated protector for the refrigeration evaporator coil, effectively preventing dust and debris intrusion. Its function assists in heat transfer and boosts energy efficiency.

Whirlpool produces this part for its own line of appliances and for several other brands such as Sears-Kenmore and Ikea. Over a period of usage, the evaporator cover can experience deterioration, including tears or holes in the insulation, often caused by moisture exposure or physical impacts inside the refrigerator.

If the evaporator cover is damaged, it may result in several problems. These may include the emission of warm or hot air from refrigerator vents instead of the anticipated cold air, increased frost or ice buildup in the freezer, and heightened energy usage due to reduced insulation and cooling inefficiencies.
