W11167902 Whirlpool Evaporator Cover

The Evaporator Cover is a genuine OEM part designed for Whirlpool refrigerators, which also fits models from Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore. This component acts as an insulated barrier, encasing the refrigeration evaporator coil to shield it from dust and debris, thus aiding in heat transfer and enhancing energy efficiency.

Whirlpool manufactures this part not only for its own appliances but also for brands like Sears-Kenmore and Ikea. Over time, the evaporator cover may sustain damage due to wear and tear such as tears or holes in its insulation. It can also be affected by moisture or physical impacts within the confines of the refrigerator.

When the evaporator cover is compromised, it may lead to several issues. These include warm or hot air emitting from the refrigerator vents instead of the expected cold air, an increase in frost or ice accumulation in the freezer, and a rise in energy consumption due to decreased insulation effectiveness and cooling inefficiency.
