Refrigerator Crisper Drawer Overview

The Crisper Drawer is a genuine OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) part designed for use in Whirlpool refrigerators, and it is compatible with several other brands such as Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, and some Kenmore models. Whirlpool also manufactures components for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea.

This drawer is engineered to provide an optimal storage environment for fruits and vegetables by managing the humidity levels inside, thus helping to prolong their freshness by reducing the likelihood of early spoilage.

Over time, the crisper drawer may show signs of wear due to frequent use, impacts, or natural aging. This wear can impact its ability to control humidity effectively, which might lead to quicker spoilage of contents.

Indicators of a malfunctioning Crisper Drawer include:

- Visible cracks or breaks that may affect the structural integrity of the drawer.
- Difficulty in sliding the drawer in or out, which could be due to damage or warping.
- An unusual amount of moisture inside the drawer, suggesting a problem with the humidity control.
- General wear and tear that could influence both the appearance and functionality of the drawer.

Regular checks and maintenance of the crisper drawer can help ensure it continues to function effectively, keeping your produce fresh for longer.
