How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning internal drains.

Steps:

  • 1. Remove drawers: Take out the crisper drawers to access the rear bottom of the refrigerator compartment.
  • 2. Locate drain channel: Find the small drain hole or channel at the back center where condensation should flow.
  • 3. Clean debris: Use a soft brush or pipe cleaner to remove food particles, mold, or slime from the channel.
  • 4. Flush with warm water: Use a syringe or turkey baster to flush warm water through the drain until it flows freely into the drain pan at the back.
  • 5. Check alignment: Ensure any plastic drain funnel or cover is properly seated.

Note: Regularly cleaning the drain channel helps prevent recurring water pooling.
