What Does the W11673435 Drain Tube Do?
The W11673435 is a drain tube and vacuum-relief assembly used in compatible Whirlpool refrigeration appliances. It provides a pathway for water to move through the appliance's drainage system while the vacuum-relief design helps support proper water flow during drainage.
A properly functioning drain tube is important because water produced during normal refrigeration and defrost-related operation needs to be directed away from areas where it could accumulate.
If the tube becomes damaged, restricted, or improperly positioned, water may not drain correctly. This can contribute to leaks, water accumulation, or drainage problems.
Using the correct OEM drain tube is important because the tube's dimensions, connections, routing, and vacuum-relief design need to match the appliance's drainage system.
Common Symptoms of a Damaged or Failed Drain Tube
A defective or damaged W11673435 drain tube can be associated with problems such as:
-
Water leaking or accumulating around the freezer or refrigerator area
-
Water failing to drain properly
-
Water pooling near the bottom of the appliance
-
Drainage becoming restricted
-
Visible cracking or physical damage to the drain tube
-
Water backup caused by a damaged or obstructed drainage path
A damaged drain tube can prevent water from being directed through the intended drainage path. PartSelect identifies the component for both freezer and refrigerator applications and provides W11673435 as the OEM replacement for the earlier drain-tube part numbers.
Will Replacing W11673435 Fix My Appliance?
It can, if the drain tube is the source of the drainage problem.
If inspection shows that the existing tube is cracked, damaged, obstructed, or otherwise unable to provide proper drainage, replacing it with W11673435 can restore the intended drainage path.
However, water leaks and drainage problems can have multiple causes. Before replacing the tube, inspect the complete drainage system and verify that W11673435 is specified for your appliance model.

W11673435 is used in compatible Whirlpool-family refrigerator and freezer applications. Authoritative parts information confirms that the component is manufactured by Whirlpool for Whirlpool, Maytag, and Amana appliances.
