Whirlpool WPW10655368 Drip Pan OEM Part

After trying to stop leaks with glue, i figured I should replace the drip pan, It took a little effort to get the fan out of the way but once that was taken care of the rest was simple. Putting the new pan in was very easy five minutes at most. The best part was the great delivery I got from appliance parts, and this is not a paid commercial. THANKS!!!

After diagnosing the problem and ordering the part late on Wednesday night, the part was waiting for me Friday afternoon when I came home from work - awesome shipping times! First remove the grate I did plenty of research, so I read that removing the fan shroud was the biggest pain, the only way I was able to removing was by forcing it out on an angle. With everything out of the way, this was the perfect time to vacuum all the junk down there. Replacing the old cracked pan (6 year old fridge - whoever came up with that formula of plastic should be fired) took about 2 minute. Putting the fan shroud in wasn't as painful as removing it. Screw the grate back in, and we're done!

Had to take the back cover off. It was very tight to remove the fan that sat in the drip pan but did get it off, was able to apply the same level of cursing and got the new pan installed, installing the drain tube was a breeze. Found the parts price very reasonable. Hoping the Whirlpool redesigned the pan so I won't have to do it ever again. I was surprised at how bad the quality of their original part was. Probably saved myself $150.00 on buying the part and doing it myself

Found the drip pan cracked on my 5 years old Maytag fridge. Replaced it and hope this will take care of the leak. The challenge is to remove the fan since is mounted on top of the drip pan. No tools are needed since the fan is kind of snapped in (no screws). Slides on the edges of the drip pan, so you need to apply some force, carefully bent the plastic frame and push it out of the tracks.The fan frame is flexible enough to bend but careful not to break it. Once the fan is out, the drip pan is also snapped in so there are two little tabs to be pushed out with your flat screwdriver. Install back the new drip pan, the fan, the little funnel and you are good to go. The whole job could take up to an hour if you don't have to do too much vacuuming and cleaning.

A tree had fallen across our power lines and the resulting power surge fried the circuit board. The diagnosis was a bit difficult and involved an educated guess based on how the frig was acting. The display was dark unless a button was pressed and the inside light worked but that was all. I had to rule out the compressor as the root cause so I back fed power to the compressor and heard it and the condenser fan fire up. I ordered the board and found the only way I could get it overnight was to ship it to my work which lead to a delay due to a fraudulent concern that my billing address was not my ship to address. Problem averted, I got the board the next day and after installing it the frig worked perfectly. The pricing was reasonable and the service was good (except for the conversation with the fraud manager!) so I ordered some maintenance parts a couple of weeks later. Again the experience was good. The drip pan is installed but I'm still waiting on the freezer door seal gasket which I expect in another day or so. A side note and good insurance, I ordered a surge protector designed for refrigerators with a 4 minute timer delay to prevent the on and off voltage surges that occur after a power outage
