Clogged Refrigerator Drain???

Got a Clogged Refrigerator?

Here lately we have had multiple calls for clogged drains in refrigerators. This happens because of ''what grows where the water goes''....

Here are some tips for you Do It Yourselfers!

First, to Prevent this from happening to your Fabulous Fridge:If you can visually see your drain in the back of the freezer, then you can take a turkey baster with hot water and lemon juice and squirt it down the hole. The lemon juice will naturally 'eat' away grime and clean it as well as prevent more grime from growing.

If you cannot see your drain in the back of the refrigerator it can be behind a panel in the rear of some side by sides. It might also be behind the panel in back in a top mount unit. In this case it is easier to phone us unless you are technically sound. You will need your manual and or a diagram from the internet.

Second, If your drain is already clogged then you may need to unplug the unit and use your hair dryer and a turkey baster with hot water to fix your drain. Use the hair dryer to thaw out the frozen substances and then use the turkey baster with lemon water to clean it as above. You may have to alternate the procedure over and over but with some time and amazing lemon juice you should be alright.

Remember to clean your drain pan often as well! If your refrigerator cannot flow properly you will indeed get ''gunked up'' as well as cause more issues like floor damage.

Food for thought and if you have further questions never hesitate to phone,
