Unplug the refrig . Inside the refrig section , remove the 4 screws ( 2 on each side ) and
lower the panel . Disconnect the large plug and remove the panel by pulling foreward to
clear the defrost drain hole .Find a food safe caulking or odorless silicon and caulk at the
upper portion where the styrofoam meets the plastic AND on the top center of the styrofoam (
all the way around the large rectangle hole ) so that the styrofoam will seal to the top of
the refrig . When the refrig goes into defrost , the water is seeping between the refrig top
and the styrofoam , causing it to run into the refrig section . When reassembling , be sure
to plug the large plug back into the refrig .
While the panel is down , use a hose inserted into the opening of the drain hole on the rear
wall , to blow thru to remove any unseen blockage in the drain line .

GE PROFILE MOD. TNX22PRCBRWW....SER# MA 900839V....WATER LEAKING ON FLOOR...MANUAL SAYS TO CHECK DRAIN IN BOTTOM OF FREZZER DONT SEE DRAIN

There should be a bottom plate on the freezer, youhave to remove it and then you have to remove the evaporator cover. There should be two coils (the evaporator) below the evaporator there should be a drainpan with a hole in it.tocheck it poor a little water in the pan to see if it drains if it doesn't you can use a small round hose or tube and push it through the drain hole.

I have a kenmore model 106 79207990 Water and Ice developed behind the frezzer tray I took the tray out and it appears that the drain was filled with ice. What seems to be the problem with the drain....

Hi,

The drain can get a build up in it over time or a foreign object can get in there and block the water flow.

To clear the drain:

- Turn off the refrigerator and unplug

- Locate the drain (it may be under all the ice) it is just below the cooling coils close the slots in the back panel. The drain hole is about the size of a dime.

- Use hot water and bath towels to unthaw the ice, DO NOT use a chisel and hammer as you can cause damage. A hair dryer may work too but be careful not to melt any of the plastic walls.

- Once the top ice is gone, use a turkey baster to flush down the drain hole until the water flows free.

- A small amount of spilled water on the floor is normal while doing this so have towels ready.

LEAKS WATER ON TOP SHELF OF UNIT

You most likely have a stopped up drain in the freezer. When the freezer goes into defrost, the water drains out and down the back of the unit. Into a pan located on top of or close to the compressor. You will need to unclog the drain.

In the frezzer ice is forming under the floor and dripping down onto the floor of the refrigerator part under the veg drawers

first remove the floor and back wall of the freezer. remove the ice from the floor and drain pan careful not to damage the evaporator and drain pan. to the right of cener on the bottom of the drain pan is the drain hole. use a turkey baster and hot water to thaw the drain, you should hear water dripping into the drain pan when thawed. install a heat probe whirlpool part number 819043. or wrap a thick piece ( about the size of a pencil lead) of copper wire around the heater located under the evaporator. make it long enough to go about 2 inches into the drain. don't let the wire touch the sides of the drain hole or touch the bottom of the tube, this will prevent the drain from freezing. i recommend using the heat probe from whirlpool but the wire will work too. hope this helps.

Bosch Frost Free Frdge Freezer Icing Up

Switch off fridge. Put a pedistal fan in front blowing into the cabinet and leave until all ice has defrosted. Locate the drain hole in the back of the freezer compartment, try to defrost ice which blockes up about the first inch or two of this pipe. If water does not run through you need to force it through with a turkey baster. This should sort your problem. ratemeplease

Water accumulation under crisper bins

Check that the hole at the back of the fridge is not blocked with gunge.  There should be a drip tray at the rear with 2 slopes towards the hole where the condensation drains to.  Some cabinets come with a little rod to clear the blockage.  The rod may live in the hole alowing water to drain around it.  Have a peek!
