Whirlpool 8212526 Washer Tray, 29-by-31-Inch



Fits my Duet washer well
I bought this when moving my washer from the basement upstairs for peace of mind. The washer would occasionally leak a small amount of water at the door so it also useful to catch those drips. The pan is a couple of inches larger that the foot print of the washer which I hadn't initially thought was necessary but I had not accounted for the fact that I wanted a bottom drain hole (no hole was pre-drilled) to over hang the stand while keeping the washer feet fully on the stand... worked out to a perfect fit.

Durable, holds water and was true to the size description. Good product!
My LG front loading washer has an intermittent minor to moderate leak that turns out to be a known and common problem with my model and I'm not interested in shelling our hundreds of dollars to have someone come and fix it and don't have time to troubleshoot it myself right now so I selected this plastic pan. The space I have my washer is narrow and most pans will not fit but this one was true to the advertised dimensions and fit exactly and does the job. The only downsides are that it costs about ten dollars more than other available pans and the size of the pan may be so close to the size of the washer that if you needed to remove the water you are not left with much room to dip a cup or other container in to the sump. I had to resort to using a rag to remove water on two occasions, otherwise evaporation has been more than enough to get rid of the water that occasionally comes from my washer.

A Problem Solver
This pan was mainly designed to prevent water from leaking out of a washing machine. However, I found it was a 'life saver' for me when my portable air conditioning unit decided to leak from the bottom. I just placed the large washing machine pan underneath the A/C unit thus preventing water damage to my rugs and flooring. By using smaller pans inside the large one, I can easily empty out any water that drips out.
