    we have a kenmore side by side and also cannot remove the drip pan, can you help?

  • Kimo65 Jun 16, 2008

    Same problem. It obviously can't be removed from the back. I could only remove it from the front by first removing the filter cartridge holder, a hassle. There must be an easier way to remove the pan for cleaning.

    yes problem getting drip pan out and it is now very gross and moldy as water is not filling up pan but dripping on floor. looked underneath and tryed to see if hose was out of place but looks like hose is hooke directly to pan. Is it possible that hose is plugged and the water is leaking out somewhere else? Model # is 52582201

  • karentommy Nov 04, 2008

    Our refrigerator drip pan seems to be taped in the front and the back. But, it won't come out for cleaning. SOS. Our model number is 106.44252401.

SOURCE: how to empty drip pan

At the back of the food compartment where the water collects ,there is a drainage hole, this is blocked up,poke a long thin piece of wire or similar and poke it down the hole, this should clear the blockage,
If the water does not drain away then you need to go the rear of the frig and clear the rubber or plastic hose that you will see on the top of the motor compressor. this should solve the problem.
Plz rate this solution.
Thanks. and merry xmas.

SOURCE: drip pan overflow

you could need more freon, because it is causing the pipes to warm up a bit more then they should be, then the condensation builds up. If the problem still percists after you have this checked, i would put a drain hose on it temporairly and aim for a new fridge if it is from before 1994.

SOURCE: I have a Kenmore coldspot side by side- not cooling properly

Setting it to 5 is what the manufacturer recommends. If you set it to 1 and the frig is still not cold, then you probably have a faulty cold control (thermostat)

SOURCE: condensation dripping from top of refrigerator

The problem is the defrost drain trough is plugged with ice. You will have to turn off the refrigerator, remove the freezer back panel and use a baby aspirator to help you apply and remove hot water to melt the ice. Then insert the aspirator in the drain hole to blow out any thing that may have gotten lodged inside. You will hear the water draining now to the pain underneath the refrigerator. Hope that helps you, good luck!!

How do i replace the cracked drip pan in the french door refigerator

  • Unplug the refrigerator from the power source and remove the decorative vent cover at the bottom of the fridge under the door. Some vent covers are screwed on but many just snap onto clip that hold them in place.

  • Pull gently on the exposed front edge of the drip pan and ease it out towards you. The drip pan slides on runners on each side of the bottom of the refrigerator. It may be full of liquid or debris so go slow and steady and then discard it.

  • Line up the new drip pan with the two side guides beneath the refrigerator and slide into place. Use the flashlight if to make sure the drip pan is in the groove on each side.
  • Clean and replace the vent cover by clipping or screwing it into place. Plug the refrigerator back into the power outlet

    How do i remove a drip pan from a kenmore refrigerator

    The drip pan collects water when the freezer goes into a defrost cycle. Most times there is very little water and the water evaporates quickly. When there is a problem with the freezer or the water does not evaporate between defrost cycles, the drip pan fills with water. If the front bottom of your refrigerator has a grille, you access the drip pan from the front. If there is no grille, access the drip pan from the rear.

    Instructions
    Rear Access

    1 Unplug the refrigerator from the wall outlet. Pull the refrigerator away from the wall so that you can access the rear of the refrigerator.

    2 Look under the refrigerator with a flashlight and locate the drip pan. Often when people install refrigerators they neglect to pull the packing from around the drip pan. The drip pan may have tape or styrofoam around it.


    3 Remove any packing material away from the drip pan and pull the drip pan out from under the refrigerator.

    Front Access

    4 Pull the grille at the bottom of the refrigerator below the refrigerator door with your fingers. The grille secures to the refrigerator with plastic clips.

    5 Remove any debris from the access area and throw the debris in the trash. The coils and fan under the refrigerator attract dust and dirt. Clean out the area with a lint brush if you have one.

    6 Pull the drip pan out from under the refrigerator.

    My drip pan under the frig over flows with water then on to my floor. both fans work. Air flow from freezer to frig and back seams good. Tube going to drip pan is clean. Seals looks good and clean. MOD...

    I had a similar problem with my Whirlpool model 6ED25DQFW side by side refrigerator/freezer with ice maker/water dispenser. Water was slowly pooling under the refrigerator under the freezer section. The defrost drain pipe was not blocked, the condenser fan was running, the drip pan was not leaking.
    The source of the leak was found to be the icemaker solenoid block plastic body which had a pinhole leak.
    To fix requires either plastic welding, or replacement of the solenoid block plastic body.
    To access the solenoid block firstly requires removal of the cardboard cover, located at the lower rear of the refrigerator.

    I get water (alot) on shelves inside the frig. I looked at drip pan underneath and it is dry. Checked vents inside frig and they are not blocked.

    Sounds like the water drain for the freezer defrost is clogged. You will need to remove the back panel inside the freezer and check it. Sometimes it's just a piece of paper, or other wrapping that gets into it. Always UNPLUG the refrigerator first.

    Foul odor from beneath the frige!

    You have a couple possibilities. Either something spilled in the frig and ran down into the drip pan or you have a dead critter under there. The pan is not removable and cleaning it is a pain. take a good look under there from the back and the front.

    Water dripping from somewhere inside the refrigerator

    I believe the problem is with the drain line when the frig goes into defrost mode

    see if you can trace the drain line that oes into the evaporator pan at the bottom of the frig

    facing the frig remove the bottom panel that goes across the front and pull out the evaporator tray to see if it is dry

    take a flashlight and see if you can see a plastic tube that the water should be dripping into the pan

    try to trace the tube up into the frig ther is some type of catch basin inside the frig on the back panel usually around middle area

    If you are not able to find it you can call whrlpol customer service 1-800-253-1301
    or call an appliance service enter and as them f they can walk you through the problem

    Good Luck

    Freezer works but frig is not cooling

    I don't know this particular frig, but evidently the defroster doesn't work. Frost buildup has blocked the flow of cold air.

    There is a defrost timer, under the frig, accessible from the front. You can turn it with a screw driver. Turn it till you hear a click. If the timer hasn't been turning, that should turn on the defroster, a heating element nested among the freezer coils. Wait half an hour and if it is defrosting, water should be dripping into the drip pan underneath the frig. If so, then replace the defrost timer and you're good to go.

    If that doesn't make it defrost, then the problem is probably the defrost thermostat, in with the freezer coils. When the frig defrosts, the defrost heater stays on until the defrost thermostat gets warm. It should be open circuit while warm. But if it is open circuit while cold, it is bad and is the cause of your defrost problem.

    If you open up the freezer coils, use a hair dryer to defrost. That is safer than hot water.

    Hope you can fix it.
