- With over 15 years in the appliance business, we have developed a patented product that will eliminate your GE freezer from "freezing up" and creating a blockage of ice. This product was developed by an award-winning technician.
THANK YOU! Clear, concise instructions and no beating around the bush. Anybody who says they can't fix things just don't want to if you can't follow this. Excellent.
My frig has leaked 12 years! Thank you so much for this video!!!!!
Thanks for this. It was nice to find a break down for Hotpoint as the other brands are quite different.
Though years removed from the making of this video, I still wanted to thank you for your efforts. While ours would have been a newer iteration of this device, the general navigation was about the same. In the course of fulfilling all your instructions, we did find an odd bit of blockage over the main drainage path - a large Styrofoam chunk that must've come in the original shipping - but still did all the wipe-up and de-icing you suggested. 24 hours in, the device appears to be functioning as originally designed, and nicely fulfilling its destiny in life as that basement fallback. Many thanks, from Philadelphia.
Ok this is the first time in a long time I have found the exact same set up on something I needed to fix. Thank you.
THANK YOU for showing all the details for getting to the drain! Mine was so frozen that I had to use a hair dryer to melt the ice to remove the tray and styrofoam diverter. But it's all clean and clear now.
Thank you for posting this video. Hopefully this work and if it do thank you again. It proves that i dont need a man to help me physically because i got a man showing how to do it online
Thanks! Easy to follow instructions. This girl also fixed the issue in about 30 minutes.
Did you have to take off the back panel?
Worked like a charm. Although I needed to use my air compressor to clear the drain line, but I wouldn't have known how to fix this issue without the video. Thank you.
Thanks for this video. Very simple and easy to follow directions. You saved a me 170.00 in repairs and mileage. Every one was surprised that a girly girl like myself was able to repair her own fridge.
+C.D. Curry Every one was surprised that a girly girl like myself was able to repair her own fridge. Check my channal for: How a refrigerator works. Also for easy repairs. I will be happy to know what you think. Good video I gave it a LIKE
Totally the problem with my fridge, great video, thanks!
OMG - we fixed it! Thanks Brian! No more Lake Huron in the bottom of the fridge. BTW, we did break the air foil but we were able to glue it and -- yay -- living happily ever after.
Brian, great video. You talked me through un plugging my refrigerator. You worked the exact same model as mine, made it better. I don't think it was frozen. I think it was plugged. The warm water did not help. I had a piece of small flexible steel cable, I carefully sent it down to the bottom. The water ran out so I new it did the trick. I rigged up an adaptor to my shop vac down to 3/16 ID tubing and sent that down I did that a couple of times. I hope that is it now for a while anyway! Ha ha I had two screws left over and can't find where they go. :O) Everything is working OK so I will keep them for future reference. Good job Brian THANKS.
Thanks very much, this worked perfectly on my identical fridge, plus thanks to your detailed directions I didn't do any damage in the process.
Do you have to turn off the power of fridge, or is it ok to leave on?
Thank you so much! I just fixed my fridge thanks to you.
Thannnks for posting this!!! Same freezer setup, no more shower inside the fridge! Probably the worst designed freezer ever, hopefully my drain hole doesn't freeze up again! Does this happen because the defrost heater is poorly designed?
Can it take a while for the drain line to unfreeze?
I have same model without the ice maker but the freezer is working, fan is blowing but bottom is not cooling. Guess I'll pull it apart again tomorrow.
"if you break it, just try not to" lolllll
i broke it! And now what! He didn' t tell us.
It does not say what happens after a month and the drain hole gets clogged again. You need a small clip with and extended tail or a wire that is hooked to the coil and the tail part of the clip is fit into the drain hole so when cold condensed water flows into the hole, it does not freeze due to the heat transferred to the clip or wire from the coil.
What type of wire? I see the wire in the video but he doesn't talk about it and the schematics from GE don't show this wire, I tried using a coat hanger but busted the heater element...the heater element is a coil with a glass tube around it..I broke the glass.

Does it matter if water does not dispose from the fridge???
how many watts are this heating defrost element
At 3:00 minutes the white back was on the freezer and then at 3:04, you jump to a new video where the white panel is gone. How does that get taken off?
I think that panel comes off by removing 2 screws near the top and 2 screws next to the fan on mine. I didn't need to remove that panel to fix the drain.
There are two screws that hold the panel against the back. It's not necessary to remove that to clear the drain tube.
I just had to remove bottom panel. Once we deiced ours, I pulled out the styrofoam thing and actually put a little table salt in the drain to hasten thawing. Then flushed the line with 3 cups of hot tap water. No need to remove the back panel or ice maker.
@jefferyb304 - Did you have to de-ice the unit first? If yes, approx how long did that take?
Can you get to the drain hole without taking off the back wall?
Unfortunately no. Back panel has to come off the inside of the freezer.
What happens to the hot water once you flush it down the hole?
The hole connects to a hose that drains to a pan underneath the fridge where the defrost water evaporates harmlessly.
I know this is 8 years too late, but I would have liked to have seen how you remove the back panel from inside the freezer.
Me too, also the water is draining very slowly. I had roaches and all kind of debris. Need to find some sort of wire to go in there but I have no idea if it goes down or in and then down. Real awkward angle that drain plug is at.
I have done this procedure several times it works for several weeks and the problem happens again
@@geekmode0074 depends where you live
How about dumping this GE refrigerator and getting a different brand. This problem will happen over and over again. Water will eventually spill all over the floor.
Wish I could, this is the fridge I have in my apartment and it continues to clog and freeze over
