Whirlpool Refrigerator Crisper Pan Parts — Models & Compatibility

That cracking sound you heard when you set down the gallon of milk? Yeah, that's your crisper drawer giving up. This replacement crisper pan (part number 2188661) fits over 100 Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, Amana, and Kenmore refrigerator models — and it's the exact part that'll get your produce drawer working like new again.

Is This the Right Part for Your Model?

Before ordering, grab your refrigerator's model number. You'll find it on a sticker inside the fridge compartment, usually on the left or right wall near the top, or sometimes on the ceiling. Match your model number against the compatibility list below — if it's there, you're good to go. This pan replaces original part numbers WP2188661, AP6006056, 2188653, and 2196229.

About This Replacement Part

Here's the thing about crisper pans — they crack. Not because you did anything wrong, but because plastic gets brittle over time, especially when it's holding heavy gallons of juice or taking an accidental hit from a frozen turkey. One customer said it straight: "I first tried duct tape - that worked for a while. Then I bought laser, 5 minute fix glue - that didn't work at all." Don't waste time with temporary fixes. This OEM-quality replacement pan drops right into place, no modifications needed. The most common failure mode? Impact damage and stress cracks along the corners where weight concentrates. You'll know it's time when the pan won't sit level anymore or when you spot visible cracks spreading from the edges.

What You'll Need for Installation

Good news — this is one of the easiest refrigerator repairs you'll ever do. You'll need a screwdriver (sometimes Phillips, sometimes flathead, depending on your model) to remove the old drawer assembly. Most installs take under 15 minutes. Pull out the crisper drawer completely, remove any mounting screws or clips holding the old pan, swap in the new one, and slide it back. That's it. No need to disconnect water lines, move the fridge, or even unplug it.

Why This Part Fails

Crisper pans fail for predictable reasons: repeated thermal cycling (cold temps make plastic brittle), overloading (those pans aren't designed for 20 pounds of produce), and simple impact. Drop a jar of pickles? That'll do it. The pan cracks, then won't close properly, which messes with your refrigerator's humidity control and makes vegetables go bad faster. One customer saved $60 by ordering this part instead of calling a service tech — and you can too.

Cross-Reference Numbers

If you're cross-referencing from a service manual or another parts site, this pan also goes by: WP2188661, AP6006056, 2188653, 2196229. They're all the same physical part.

Need Help Finding Your Model Number?

Can't locate that model sticker? It's usually inside the fresh food compartment on the side wall or ceiling. If it's worn off or unreadable, check your owner's manual or the original purchase paperwork — the model number is always listed there. Still stuck? Call us. A real person will help you verify compatibility, just like the customer who said: "I called, nice lady set me straight, put order in and received in few days."
