Whirlpool w11116006 Refrigerator Evaporator

Product Description

The WHIRLPOOL w11116006 is a refrigerator evaporator coil designed to absorb heat from inside the refrigerator cabinet and transfer it to the refrigerant circuit. Positioned in the freezer or fresh-food section depending on the configuration, the evaporator is a core component of the sealed refrigeration system. When the original coil fails due to refrigerant leaks, corrosion, or physical damage, replacing it with a direct OEM-specification part restores proper cooling performance. Installation is typically performed by a certified appliance technician or licensed HVAC-R service professional.

The w11116006 evaporator is intended for use in WHIRLPOOL-brand refrigerators requiring a direct OEM replacement coil. It is suited for residential refrigeration applications where the original evaporator has failed and cooling capacity has been compromised. No specific compatible model numbers were provided in the available product data; technicians should verify fitment against the unit's model and serial number before ordering.

Key Features

• OEM-specification evaporator coil for direct replacement of failed or damaged units
• Designed for integration into the existing sealed refrigeration circuit
• Restores proper heat absorption and refrigerant flow when original coil is compromised
• Intended for professional installation by qualified appliance or HVAC-R technicians

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement evaporator coil for WHIRLPOOL residential refrigerators. Verify compatibility using the appliance model and serial number before installation, as no specific model compatibility data was provided in the available product information.

Installation Notes

Evaporator coil replacement is a sealed-system repair that must be performed by an EPA Section 608 certified technician due to refrigerant handling requirements. Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning disassembly and allow all frost and ice to fully defrost from the existing coil before removal. Do not attempt to bend, crimp, or force refrigerant lines during the swap, as this can cause leaks or system damage. After installation, the system must be evacuated and recharged to manufacturer specifications by a qualified technician.
