Whirlpool W11542868 Refrigerator Drain Pump

The Whirlpool W11542868 Refrigerator Drain Pump works by detecting and removing excess water from the defrost cycle, ensuring proper drainage. As the refrigerator defrosts, melted ice collects in the drain pan. The pump activates automatically, moving the water through the drainage system to prevent overflow and leaks. This continuous process helps keep the interior dry, prevents ice buildup, and avoids water pooling inside or around the unit. By maintaining proper water flow, the pump supports efficient cooling performance, protects stored food from moisture-related issues, and eliminates the need for manual drainage. Its simple operation ensures smooth functionality, contributing to a well-maintained and effective refrigeration system.
