Drain Pump Installation

(on some models)
NOTES:
■ Connect drain pump to your drain in accordance with all state
and local codes and ordinances.
■ It may be desirable to insulate drain tube thoroughly up
to drain inlet to minimize condensation on the drain tube.
Insulated tube kit Part Number W10365792 is available for
purchase.
■ Drain pump is designed to pump water to a maximum height
of 10 ft (3 m). Use only Whirlpool approved drain pump kit
Part Number 1901A.
■ Do not connect the outlet end of the drain tube to a closed
pipe system to keep drain water from backing up into the
ice maker.
