Need to remove the drip pan under my Kenmore side by side fridge.

Mine is a whirlpool side-by-side ED5GTN which must be the same design as your Kenmore.
There is no way the drip pan will come out without tilting the refrigerator backwards.
The tape is removed, the foam packing, the filter removed, the pan is not flexible enough because the pan broke.
I have worked on this until my hand is bleeding from struggling with this poor design. Custumer service was no help..said, "Well, I don't know."
I'll wait for help to tilt the thing because there is black mold and I want all removed from the bottom of the refrigerator. This design is not only "NOT customer friendly but unhealthy for your home."

the tape and foam is there when the refreg was shipped. majority of the people or the installer never removes the tape and the foam.
there is no other place for the pan to come out.
carefully remove the tape and the move the pan forward, remove the foam and the pan should come out with ease.
