Safety first: Disconnect power before working inside the appliance.

  • Locate drain hole: At the back of the compartment, find the small drain opening or channel.
  • Clear blockage: Use a soft pipe cleaner or flexible plastic strip to gently clear debris. Do not use sharp metal objects.
  • Flush with warm water: Using a syringe or turkey baster, slowly flush warm water through the drain until it flows freely to the rear drain pan.
  • Dry and reassemble: Wipe the area dry, reinstall shelves and drawers, and monitor for recurrence.
