Appliance Kingdom supplies appliance replacement parts to customers across Canada, with Canada-wide shipping and fast order processing. If your compatible refrigerator is experiencing drainage problems, water leakage, or frost-related issues, a damaged or blocked drain tube can be the source of the problem. AMRE Supply specifically lists WP61006123 as a possible repair solution for refrigerators that will not drain, leak water, develop frost buildup, or fail to defrost properly.
What Does the WP61006123 Refrigerator Drain Tube Do?
The refrigerator drain tube provides a path for water produced during the automatic defrost process to leave the refrigerator's evaporator area and drain into the appropriate collection area.
When the drain tube becomes blocked, damaged, or otherwise unable to carry water correctly, defrost water can accumulate inside the appliance. This can contribute to water leakage and frost buildup and may interfere with normal refrigerator operation.
Using the correct OEM drain tube is important because the tube needs to have the appropriate design and dimensions for the refrigerator's drainage system. A properly matched component helps maintain reliable water drainage and reduces the risk of recurring leaks or frost-related problems.
Common Symptoms of a Faulty or Blocked Refrigerator Drain Tube
A problem with the refrigerator drain tube can be associated with:
-
Water leaking inside or around the refrigerator
-
Refrigerator will not drain properly
-
Excessive frost buildup
-
Water accumulating where it should not
-
Freezer or refrigerator defrost water not draining correctly
-
Defrost-related drainage problems
AMRE Supply lists "will not drain," leaking water, frost buildup, and a freezer that is not defrosting as possible repair symptoms associated with WP61006123. These symptoms are intended as troubleshooting guidance because other refrigerator components can produce similar problems.
Will Replacing WP61006123 Fix My Refrigerator?
Replacing WP61006123 can resolve the problem when the refrigerator's drain tube is damaged, blocked, or otherwise responsible for the drainage issue.
However, water leaks and frost buildup can have multiple causes. Before replacing the tube, inspect the refrigerator's drainage system and confirm that WP61006123 is specified for your exact appliance model.
Compatibility Guidance
WP61006123 is a refrigerator drain tube used in compatible Whirlpool-family refrigerator applications. Authoritative and approved parts sources confirm its use in refrigerator applications, including specific Maytag, Magic Chef, and Crosley models.
Always verify your refrigerator's complete model number before ordering. Do not rely solely on the appliance brand or the appearance of the existing drain tube, as refrigerators with similar designs can use different drainage components.
If you are unsure whether WP61006123 is correct for your refrigerator, provide your complete model number to Appliance Kingdom for compatibility assistance before purchasing.
