Whirlpool Fridge P Trap Drain Tube Kit

The problem is that the factory drain kit gets gunked up and cannot drain the water created when the unit automatically goes through its defrost cycle.

Whirlpool fridge p trap drain tube kit.

This kit eliminates the self closing valve and replaces it with an open p trap style drain the kind used in every sink and toilet drain in your house. Obviously there s a design problem with this model since many other people have the same issue. The function of the p trap drain kit is to carry the water that has formed during the defrost cycle to the bottom of the refrigerator where your drain pan is located. The p trap drain tube kit may also be known as the duck bill or the drain pipe.

The drain tube for for the defrost cycle seemed to be blocked so i googled the repair it sent me to appliancepartspros. Seems this is a common problem with many refrigerators.
