Frigidaire 242176502 Refrigerator Sump

Product Description

The FRIGIDAIRE 242176502 is a refrigerator sump, an internal drain component that collects and channels moisture away from the refrigerator's evaporator section. The sump sits at the base of the drain system inside the unit and works to prevent water buildup that could lead to ice accumulation or water leakage inside the cabinet. This is a direct OEM replacement part installed by appliance service technicians during routine drain system repairs or when diagnosing frost or water pooling issues in the fresh food or freezer compartment.

This sump is designed for use in FRIGIDAIRE refrigerators where the original drain sump has cracked, warped, or failed to seat properly. It is a common service part encountered during defrost drain repairs on residential refrigerators. Technicians typically access this component after removing interior panels to reach the evaporator and drain trough assembly.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified appliance technician. Disconnect power to the refrigerator at the wall outlet or circuit breaker before beginning any disassembly. Interior panels and the evaporator cover will typically need to be removed to access the sump location. Ensure the replacement sump is fully seated and the drain path is unobstructed before reassembling panels and restoring power.
