How to Remove the Rear Panel in your Whirlpool Refrigerator

crwdns2915892:0crwdne2915892:0

Use this guide to replace the rear panel in your Whirlpool Refrigerator. Removing the rear panel gives you access to the evaporator fan, coils, and other components.

This guide will work for most Whirlpool refrigerators. This guide is written with a model WRS315SDHW refrigerator. If you have a different model, you may encounter some minor disassembly differences, but the overall repair process will be the same.

Note: Some photos show the doors removed for clarity purposes. Removing them is not required and will not change the procedure.
