Whirlpool W11542868 Drain Pump for Refrigerator

The Whirlpool W11542868 Refrigerator Drain Pump detects and removes excess water from the defrost cycle, facilitating proper drainage. During the defrosting process, melted ice gathers in the drain pan. The pump activates to move the water through the drainage system, preventing overflow and leaks. This ongoing function helps maintain a dry interior, reduces ice buildup, and stops water from pooling inside or around the refrigerator. By managing water flow, the pump aids in maintaining cooling performance and protects stored food from moisture-related issues, while eliminating the need for manual drainage. Its straightforward operation contributes to the overall functionality of the refrigeration system.
