Is This the Right Part?

✅ Cross Reference Information

Common Symptoms

• Inconsistent cooling
• Warm freezer compartment
• Excessive or abnormal ice buildup around the evaporator
• Poor or incomplete evaporator frost pattern
• Evidence of a sealed-system refrigerant leak, such as oil residue near the evaporator tubing

Check Before Replacing

• Confirm the refrigerator model number and compare the installed evaporator with the W11546605 parts listing before ordering.
• With the refrigerator safely powered off, visually inspect the evaporator area for abnormal ice accumulation, physical damage, or oily residue; do not puncture, bend, or scrape the tubing.
• Observe the evaporator frost pattern during normal operation only if the appliance can be inspected safely without disturbing sealed-system components; a poor frost pattern can have causes other than the evaporator.
• Have a qualified sealed-system technician evaluate refrigerant charge, system pressures, compressor operation, and leak evidence before condemning the evaporator.
