Whirlpool Refrigerator Evaporator Tray (WPW10614158)

The Whirlpool Refrigerator Evaporator Tray sits beneath the evaporator coils in your refrigerator's freezer compartment and collects condensation and frost melt that forms during normal cooling cycles. It channels that moisture away from the coils and toward the defrost drain so it can exit the refrigerator properly without pooling or causing damage.

The Whirlpool Refrigerator Evaporator Tray can crack, warp, or become clogged over time due to repeated freeze and thaw cycles, mineral buildup from water, or physical damage during cleaning or service. When the tray no longer sits properly or drains as it should, moisture can back up, freeze in place, or leak into areas of the refrigerator where it does not belong.

These symptoms may point to a failed or damaged evaporator tray in your refrigerator:

- Water pooling at the bottom of the freezer compartment

- Ice buildup around or beneath the evaporator coils

- Water leaking onto the floor near the refrigerator

- Frost accumulating faster than normal inside the freezer

- Visible cracks, warping, or breaks in the tray itself

- Refrigerator not cooling evenly due to blocked airflow from ice buildup
