WP2188755 Whirlpool Rear Access Cover

The Rear Access Cover is a standard replacement part designed for use with Whirlpool bottom-mount refrigerators. This component acts as a detachable panel that facilitates access to the internal parts of the refrigerator for maintenance or repair purposes. It effectively seals the compartment to block moisture, odors, and pests from entering when the panel is removed.

Whirlpool manufactures this part, and it is also suitable for use with several other brands, including Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore. Additionally, Whirlpool produces items for other companies like Sears-Kenmore and Ikea.

Common issues with the rear access cover may arise from warping, which occurs due to temperature changes around the refrigerator's exterior. Additionally, the cover might show cracks or breaks from frequent use in tight spaces.

Signs of a malfunctioning rear access cover include:
- Difficulty in closing the panel completely and securely.
- Presence of drafts or air gaps that allow air movement behind the appliance.
- Increased condensation or frost inside the compartment.
- Transfer of food odors to other storage areas.

This OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) part is designed to fit and function with the specified models, ensuring a proper fit and optimal performance.
