Cleaning the drains of the freezer or refrigerator

The drains are located along the bottom of the freezer and the refrigerator. These holes can become clogged with dirt or ice causing a drainage problem when the appliance defrost. To clean these parts, use a piece of wire that fits into the cavity.
Do not use a toothpick because the wood can break and clog the drain. In some coolers, the drains are located near the defrost heater on the evaporator coil.
To clean this unit, it is necessary to disassemble several parts. If the refrigerator or freezer is of this type, it is best to call the assistance to do the cleaning.
In some freezer compartments the drains are located in the lower part
and can generally be unscrewed so that the drainage area can be cleaned.
