The Defrost Thermostat and Wiring Harness is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. This part ensures that the refrigerator's evaporator coils do not become overly frosty, thereby maintaining optimal air flow and cooling efficiency throughout the unit.  

Causes for issues with the defrost thermostat and wiring harness often include electrical failures, such as short circuits or broken wires, wear and tear on the thermostat, or a malfunction that prevents it from accurately sensing temperature changes.

Symptoms of a malfunctioning Defrost Thermostat and Wiring Harness include:

• Excessive frost buildup on the evaporator coils
• The refrigerator or freezer compartment becoming too warm
• The refrigerator running continuously without cycling off
• Water leaking inside the refrigerator due to ice melting and not draining properly

This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper and some Kenmore models.

The Drip Pan is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. Located beneath the refrigerator, it collects and holds water that drips from the defrost system, preventing it from leaking onto the floor.  

Causes of a bad drip pan can include cracks or holes from physical damage, warping from exposure to temperature fluctuations, or excessive buildup of dirt and mold.  

Symptoms of a bad drip pan include:

• Water pooling under the refrigerator
• Visible cracks, holes, or warping in the pan
• Mold or mildew growth in the pan
• Unpleasant odors emanating from the refrigerator base

This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper and some Kenmore models.
