This condensate drain pan sits at the base of the refrigerator to collect defrost water and allow it to evaporate over the warm compressor, helping prevent floor puddles, moisture damage, and musty odors around the unit.
- Collects and holds defrost condensate from the drain tube (also called a drain pan or drip tray)
- Stages water to evaporate safely using compressor/condenser heat
- Replace if the pan is cracked, warped, missing, or leaking
- Common symptoms: water under/behind the refrigerator, damp flooring, or persistent musty odors near the bottom rear
What's included: 1 condensate drain pan Install notes:
- Unplug the refrigerator and pull it away from the wall; shut off water supply if connected
- Remove the rear lower access panel to reach the pan near the compressor
- Lift out the old pan; clear any debris from the drain outlet; transfer original mounting hardware if needed
- Seat the new pan level under the drain tube; ensure it's secure and reinstall the access panel
