WP12579803 - Genuine OEM Whirlpool Refrigerator Drain Pan

WP12579803 - Genuine OEM Whirlpool Refrigerator Drain Pan

The WP12579803 Genuine OEM Whirlpool Refrigerator Drain Pan is an original Whirlpool replacement part designed for compatible refrigerators. This genuine OEM drain pan, also known as a drip pan or drip tray, collects water discharged through the refrigerator's drain system during the automatic defrost cycle. Whirlpool, PartSelect, RepairClinic, AMRE Supply, and Reliable Parts identify WP12579803 as a genuine OEM refrigerator drain pan.

Appliance Kingdom supplies genuine OEM and quality appliance replacement parts to customers across Canada. WP12579803 is suitable for homeowners, landlords, property managers, and professional appliance technicians looking to replace a damaged or leaking refrigerator drain pan.

What Does the WP12579803 Refrigerator Drain Pan Do?

The refrigerator drain pan is located at the bottom of the refrigerator cabinet, behind the toe grille. It collects water that flows through the drain line during the refrigerator's automatic defrost cycle.

A properly functioning drain pan helps contain this defrost water so it does not leak onto the floor beneath or around the refrigerator. If the pan becomes cracked, damaged, or otherwise unable to contain water, leakage can occur.

Using the correct OEM drain pan is important because the pan must have the appropriate dimensions, shape, mounting points, and drainage configuration for the refrigerator it is installed in.

Common Symptoms Indicating Drain Pan Replacement

A damaged WP12579803 drain pan can be associated with:

• Water leaking underneath or around the refrigerator

• Repeated water accumulation near the bottom of the appliance

• A cracked or damaged drain pan

• Visible deterioration of the existing pan

• Defrost water escaping from the refrigerator instead of being contained

PartSelect specifically identifies leaking as a symptom that WP12579803 can address. AMRE Supply and Reliable Parts likewise identify this drain pan as a possible repair solution for refrigerator water leakage.

Will Replacing WP12579803 Fix My Refrigerator Leak?

If the drain pan itself is cracked, damaged, or leaking, replacing it with the correct WP12579803 drain pan can resolve the leak caused by that pan.

However, refrigerator water leaks can have several possible causes, including problems elsewhere in the drainage system. A damaged drain pan should therefore be inspected before ordering a replacement. Reliable Parts specifically notes that other components can cause similar leaking symptoms.
