Possible Causes
Ice blockage in defrost drain, Debris in drain trough, Misaligned drain tube at rear
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the refrigerator before working inside compartments.
Steps:
- Locate drain outlet: In many Crosley top-freezer models, the defrost drain outlet is behind the rear freezer panel, leading down to a tube behind the fresh food section.
- Clear ice: Remove the freezer rear panel, locate the drain hole, and pour warm water until the ice melts and water flows freely.
- Clean trough: Remove any food debris or sludge from the drain trough that could re-clog the hole.
- Check rear drain tube: From the back of the unit, ensure the rubber drain tube is properly attached and not kinked or blocked.
