Whirlpool W10199915 Drip Pan OEM Part

Replaced the freezer defroster drip pan. I first removed the Ice maker. It has t 1/4" head screws located under the ice maker. The I lifted the ice maker a bit and pulled it out approx 4". That allowed me to get my hand behind it so it could be unplugged. There are 2 retaining locks-tabs the need to be squeezed. I then removed the four 1/4" screws that hold the aluminum panel that the light bulbs are in. I just flipped that panel down so I didnt have to unplug everything. The next panel is flat and houses the fan. There are four 1/4" screws holding that panel in also. Two on the back wall and 2 on the sides. I also just flipped it down and out of the way. I only had to unplug the fan for that. With that out of the way you will see styrofoam, thats the bottom of the drain pan. You will need to disconnect the drain hose at the back of the pan. I couldnt get to mine without dropping the styrofoam pan assembly down first. The hose removes with either a screwdriver or a 1/4" drive. The foam pan assembly is held in place with double sided tape. To remove it I just pulled on it and worked it out. There are two connections you will need to unplug to remove it. For installations of the new part I just followed my steps in reverse.

Installed new drip pan with working heat trace to keep water warm enough to exit.
