Quick Overview
The Whirlpool WP2182181 Refrigerator Thimble is a small component found in Whirlpool, Kenmore, and KitchenAid refrigerators. This part is involved in the drainage of defrost water during the defrost cycle. Typically located near the evaporator coil, the thimble directs melted water away from the coil and into the drain pan. During defrost cycles, a heating element melts ice that has built up on the evaporator coil. The thimble plays a role in managing this melted water, preventing it from refreezing on the coil, which could hinder cooling efficiency. A properly functioning thimble is necessary for maintaining effective cooling and preventing ice blockages.
