      +Cokefiend He probably means that if you put food to close to the hole, it can fall in the hole and block it, thereby causing the leak. That's why he tells you to not stack things close to the hole so this won't happen again.

    The excess water usually drains into a tray under the compressor, the heat from the compress and fan causes the water to evaporate.
    Sometimes the refrigerator is to cold and then the water freezes in the drain hole and blocks the drain.
    Unplug your refrigerator a=for a few hours to melt all the ice, this would be a go time to clean your fridge too. If you don't have a spare fridge then use a cooler to keep your food in for a few hours.

    If your fridge doesn't have this hole, the water collection port may be in the fridge " ceiling" in the light housing. Unscrew the housing that the light connects to, and there should/ may be a water collection there. Clean that out and you should be good

      You seem like you know what's up. I'm having a smelly problem after a friend used my fridge to store some bag wine shit that was rottening. After I cleaned the whole inside of both the fridge and freezer it was still smelling like the old wine. So I'm not sure what's going on

    Hi, after trying all solutions you suggested, including the curtain wire, what if the water is still coming out of the hole? Does it mean I may need a new fridge?

    • @bluestarsilver7586
      @bluestarsilver7586 6 років тому +13

      If there is no hole, your fridge collects at the top of the fridge, the lighting unit has a water collection. Unscrew the light housing and there should be a water collection port. Clean that out and you should be golden!

  • @myuncle2
    @myuncle2 5 років тому

    The cold air goes down, and escapes through this hole, so I clogged it with some cardboard, this way the fridge stays colder, saving energy, but the water can escapes through the cardboard at the same time.

  • @curtthompson2787
    @curtthompson2787 6 років тому

    On the bottom of the drain line on LG French door, there is a rubber stopper with a little rubber lid. Water should trickle out of here and I guess it prevents stuff from going up into drain line? But I see no use for this unless u have tiny fish swimming in the drain pan. I removed mine as I think it restricts water flow, causing ice to more easily form. We'll see.

  • @weo1weo1weo1
    @weo1weo1weo1 9 років тому +15

    why didn't they just design it with some kind of cover over the hole that only allowed the passage of water???

    • @ddramos7997
      @ddramos7997 8 років тому +2

      +weo1weo1weo1 Because you are way smarter than the designers, apparently. I can't figure that out either. It seems like common sense to me.

    Leak found in freezer section. Rubber seal migrated down and blocked drain. After warm up pushed seal back silicone and super glued seal. Let cure for 2 hours.Frig did not start for 5 min then kicked on. Kinda freaked me out. CA/Silicone fixed seal and water over flow leak.

  • @royrahway2486
    @royrahway2486 9 років тому +1

    This technique works! I used hot salt water on my Kenmore and cleaned the piece connected to the drain hole. The only difference is that the drain hole for the freezer is inside the fridge, on the top!
