You could just watch how much ends up there over the next couple weeks and see.

Have side by side Whirlpool. Freezer on left. Has ice make.
There is a drip pan at bottom of freezer side.

Noticed today (never looked before) there was some water in the catch pan. I would say about 8 ounces at most.

Not sure if this is normal perhaps due to a defrost cycle or something (frost free refrigerator about 7 years old) and it will evaporate or if this is something to watch out for.

Ice maker working fine. Water dispenser working fine.
Never had a problem with it thus far.

Thanks in advance
Peter
