Universal Galvanised Steel Fridge Drain Pan / Evaporation Tray
The Universal Galvanised Steel Fridge Drain Pan is a replacement condensate collection tray suitable for selected domestic refrigerators and fridge-freezers. It is normally installed inside the compressor compartment, where it collects water produced during condensation and the automatic defrost cycle.
Heat from the compressor and surrounding airflow gradually evaporates the collected water. The galvanised steel construction provides a strong, heat-resistant alternative to selected plastic drain trays, provided the dimensions, shape and mounting arrangement match the appliance.
Product Features
- Product type: Refrigerator drain pan / condensate evaporation tray
- Material: Galvanised steel
- Generic aftermarket replacement component
- Suitable for selected domestic refrigerators and fridge-freezers
- Collects condensation and automatic-defrost water
- Commonly installed near or above the compressor
- Allows collected water to evaporate during normal operation
- Rigid metal construction helps resist warping
- Replacement for rusted, cracked, leaking or damaged drain pans
Common Symptoms This Part May Fix
- Water leaking underneath or behind the refrigerator
- Original drain pan rusted through
- Tray cracked, split or physically damaged
- Drain pan no longer sitting securely
- Defrost water dripping into the compressor compartment
- Condensate water not being collected correctly
- Corrosion or staining around the original drain tray
- Original pan damaged during servicing or transport
Important Diagnostic Note
Water underneath a refrigerator is not always caused by a damaged drain pan. Inspect the defrost drain, drain hose, evaporator channel, door seals and water connections before replacing the tray.
A blocked or frozen defrost drain may cause water to overflow inside the appliance before it reaches the pan. Clear the drainage system and confirm that water flows freely into the tray.
Important Fitment Note
This is a universal-style drain pan and is not suitable for every refrigerator. Before ordering, compare the overall length, width, height, shape, mounting points, drain-hose position and compressor clearance with the original tray.
Ensure that the metal tray cannot contact exposed electrical terminals, wiring, moving fan components or refrigerant pipes. The tray must sit securely without vibrating against the compressor or cabinet.
The drain hose must discharge into the correct section of the tray without becoming kinked, blocked or displaced.
Avoid scratching or removing the galvanised coating during installation, as exposed steel may be more prone to corrosion.
Disconnect the refrigerator from the electrical supply before accessing the compressor compartment or installing the replacement drain pan.
