I have a bottom freezer Maytag/Whirlpool refrigerator which recently started leaking water from under the front of the refrigerator. After doing an internet search, it appeared that I had a clogged/frozen defrost drain. I ordered the replacement kit and after viewing a couple of videos, was able to install the replacement part. That issue is resolved. My wife was amazed - she was sure the refrigerator would never work again as she watched me disassemble the frig.

While doing the repair, I noticed that the associated defrost drip pan has several cracks in it. I did some temporary epoxy repairs of the cracks, ordered and now have a replacement drip pan, but am unable to find any sort of video or printed instruction regarding how to do the replacement. I would classify myself as a fairly inexperienced DIY'er, and am looking for guidance. Is this replacement fairly straight forward, or should I just call in an appliance repair person to handle it? If anyone has done this repair previously, your thoughts and guidance would be sincerely appreciated.

Whirlpool part number that I am looking to install is WPW10655367

Thanks!!!

After some more searching, I was able to find a video. Not all that surprising, it was by this very part supplier. Here is the link to the video.



Only thing I would add to the video is that getting that evaporator fan out and then to get it back installed is difficult, and some additional footage on exactly how to do it would be appreciated. Cracking that fan frame is all too easy - I know...:(
