WRS315SDHW Drain Pan Replacement

Introduction

Use this guide to replace the drain pan in your Whirlpool WRS315SDHW Refrigerator.

The drain pan collects water from the defrost drain that eventually gets evaporated by the condenser. If your refrigerator is leaking water onto the floor, your drain pan might be bent or broken.

Note: Some photos show the doors removed for clarity purposes. Removing them is not required and will not change the procedure.
