W10890667 – Genuine OEM Whirlpool Refrigerator Drip Pan
The W10890667 Genuine OEM Whirlpool Refrigerator Drip Pan is an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) replacement part designed to collect water produced during the refrigerator's automatic defrost cycle. Installed at the bottom of compatible refrigerators, this drip pan helps manage defrost water and prevent unwanted water accumulation around the appliance.
Manufactured by Whirlpool, this refrigerator drain pan is designed for compatible Whirlpool-family appliances, including select Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, Amana, and Kenmore refrigerator models. Appliance Kingdom serves customers across Canada with appliance replacement parts and Canada-wide shipping.
If your refrigerator is leaking water because its original drip pan is cracked, damaged, or leaking, replacing it with the correct OEM component can help restore proper water collection and drainage.
Function & Importance of the Refrigerator Drip Pan
The refrigerator drip pan, also called a drain pan or defrost water tray, collects water that flows through the drain system during the automatic defrost cycle. The pan is typically located near the bottom of the refrigerator cabinet, behind the lower access area.
A properly functioning drip pan helps contain defrost water and supports the refrigerator's normal drainage process. Using the correct replacement is important because the pan's shape, dimensions, and mounting arrangement must match the appliance.
A cracked, damaged, or incorrectly fitted pan can allow water to escape, potentially causing puddles beneath or around the refrigerator.
Common Symptoms Indicating Drip Pan Replacement
A damaged or defective refrigerator drip pan may cause the following symptoms:
-
Water pooling underneath or around the refrigerator
-
Visible cracks or damage to the drip pan
-
Water leaking from the bottom of the appliance
-
Defrost water escaping instead of collecting in the pan
-
Repeated water accumulation near the refrigerator's base
These symptoms can also result from a blocked defrost drain, a damaged drain line, or another drainage problem. Inspect the complete drainage system before replacing the pan.
Will Replacing W10890667 Fix My Refrigerator Leak?
Replacing the W10890667 drip pan can resolve a refrigerator water leak if the original pan is cracked, damaged, or allowing water to escape.
However, if the leak is caused by a clogged defrost drain, disconnected drain tube, or another faulty component, replacing the pan alone may not solve the problem. Identifying the source of the leak before ordering helps avoid unnecessary repairs.
Compatibility & Ordering Guidance
W10890667 is a genuine OEM refrigerator drip pan for compatible appliance models. Although this part is used across several refrigerator brands, compatibility depends on the exact model and configuration.
Before ordering, locate your refrigerator's complete model number, usually printed on a label inside the refrigerator compartment or near the crisper drawers. Check the model against an authoritative parts catalogue to confirm the correct replacement.

Installation Overview
Replacing a refrigerator drip pan may be suitable for an experienced DIYer, but the difficulty depends on the refrigerator's design and access to the pan.
Installation may require moving the refrigerator, removing a lower access panel, disconnecting the drain tube, or removing mounting hardware. Some models require more extensive disassembly.
