W11492867 Whirlpool Refrigerator Evaporator Details

Refrigerator Evaporator Details.

Whirlpool's portfolio includes brands such as Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. Additionally, Whirlpool manufactures products for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea. The Dual Evaporator Assembly, specifically designed for Whirlpool refrigerators, is an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) component. It is located within the refrigerator's interior, concealed behind the sidewalls. The function of these dual evaporator coils is to extract heat from the air inside the refrigerator, aiding in maintaining the necessary cool temperatures across different sections.

Issues that may arise with a malfunctioning dual evaporator assembly include:

- Unstable or insufficient cooling in both the freezer and fresh food compartments
- Accumulation of frost or ice inside the refrigerator
- Elevated humidity levels, which may lead to quicker food spoilage

The potential causes of these problems include normal wear and tear, physical damage to the coils from impacts, or leaks in the refrigerant that reduce the refrigerator's cooling efficiency.

This OEM part is also suitable for use in refrigerators from other brands like Maytag, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, and some Kenmore models.
