Water collected in unit will not drain out of rear port. The unit is on an angle however it sits in a tray that slides in and out of casing Makes crackaling sounds until I remove unit and drain water. considered drilling holes in bottom

Alastair Stuart ... hello,

Model, make... makes for better answers!

Most home use refrigerator (plastic) pans will simply pull out the front with a little gentle maneuvering... for cleaning purposes.

Our little MARVEL is more industrial... it has a small metal pan
and needs to be unbolted before it will come out... so in general yes...

Just keep in mind despite their size and weight
most refrigerators are pretty fragile.

I would try lots of warm soapy water and even air duster cans (compressed air)... before doing any serious surgery from the south end.

Dried milk, ice cream, pudding.... food can form a pretty good PLUG.

Good lick... stuck drains are no fun!

Fir your viewing pleasure...

Cleaning Fridge Defrost Drain

Have you lifted the carpet up in those areas to check for a rubber plug?

From everything you described, it sounds like more water than usual is collecting in the drip fan. Despite the unit draining out the rear drain hole. Check the drain hole to make sure it is totally clear and not partially clogged. A pipe cleaner works well to do this. Be sure to turn the unit OFF & unplug it, before working on it.

Hope this helped you and tanks for choosing FixYa.

Hi,
Did the hose twist or run up and down so that it makes a double trap???

Yes there is a clog in the drain, you can try a cloth hanger or a small drain auger, slug builds up and clog the drain it only takes a little to clog the flow and can easily be unclogged

It sounds like there is either a kink in your drain hose or your garbage disposal is blocked up where the dishwasher drain is connected

If you can slide the unit out, there is a drain tube or drain hole from the front tray under the coil that directs the water into the rear of the unit to drain out the hole. That tube needs to be blown out or flushed. It's most likley plugged. You only need to add the drain pipe if you want to direct the drain water away from where it drips now.

DO NOT attempt to create a drain. As long as a window A/C unit is installed properly, (angled slightly down toward the rear) it will drain excess water over the rear lower lip of the unit should it get that high. Many models use some of the collected water/condensation. It gets lifted up by the fan blades to cool the coil.
