THANK YOU SO MUCH! This video was the answer to our problem. Once we removed the drain tube water gushed out! Our clog was not in the tube BUT the small attached udder of the tube. Just like you said, clean it with a straw then we flushed it with hot water! Perfect! Now we'll subscribe. Thank you again macdaddypimpping!

I followed everything in the video and now no more water on the floor. Thanks a lot, i appreciate your help.

I pray that this works. Cause I’m tired of smelling death in my home. Will be up early morning unclogging my fridge after learning how to tonight. Thanks so much!

All was good but the damn zip-tie. You could have made it much simpler, if you were to cut off the existing zip-tie and retied it with a new zip tie. You didn’t have any spare ones did you? 😂 Or perhaps you thought there might be a microprocessor in the factory zip-tie? 🤪😜 That’s why you didn’t want to mess with it.

Nice video bro stay cool😎😎 eesh I’m not Feeling well today the bad weather and heat

Refrigerators with automatic defrost have a drain tube that carries water from the defrost cycle to a fixed drain pan under the refrigerator. The usual evidence of a clogged drain in a side-by-side is the discovery of ice under the bottom basket in the freezer compartment.

Many people aren't aware that their fridge contains a drain hole. This drain hole is in place to catch the moisture which collects in a fridge, particularly that which builds up on the back wall of the fridge. If the drain hole becomes blocked, this then causes problems for the rest of your refrigerator.

This certainly beats having to pay someone $1200 bucks for something you can do yourself

Amagine that the same happens with your house drain pipes but worse with grease and oils going down the drain. one reason to keep your house drains clean by enzyme cleaners once every 6 months or so

just buy fridge drain plug cleaner for couple quid and run it in from inside the fridge no need to move or open the back just right tool and save ur time

need a rigid wire with a cloth ball wrapped around the end, then just push it through like cleaning the barrel of a gun.

Do you mean a folded metal coat hanger with a cotton ball held in place with tape? You are genius!!! As a retired ASE Master Auto Tech, cut the nylon wire tie, they cost $0.03 cents each. A wire tie from a bread sack or contractors bag. Not everyone has an air compressor but more likely to have a garden hose. I have old speedo cable flex shaft that would work. Yes, he got the job done. Yes, this video will be seen by many who never owned tools, all plastic or wooden coat hangers but watch the incredible effort in cleaning the little “P-Trap” was brutal. Also, a small amount of water should be added before installing. This just keep the warm air from the condenser coil from going up the tube to the evaporator. This part get cold, a heater wire comes on via a timer once every 8hrs or so (Yours will Vary) but heat rises up the coils, melts frost/ice and it gathered into a tube that exists into a pan. The warm condenser air evaporates it so it does have to be emptied. Best of luck folks!

Cutting the drain pipe will allow hot hair to rise into the freezer, you do not want this. This design acts like a p-trap, a water barrier at the bottom curve to prevent outside heat from constantly going into your freezer.
