How to Unclog Your Refrigerator Drain Hole (And Stop Water From Dripping Everywhere).

If there’s one thing that bothers me, it’s when the drain hole in my refrigerator gets clogged.

You already know? The one that’s down the back.

There is always a piece of lettuce and more dirt attached!

This not only causes mold to grow, but it also causes water to build up all over the refrigerator…

But also towards the outside world if you do nothing to solve it.

Luckily, Technician Darty explained to me how to unclog and clean the refrigerator drain hole.

It’s super easy with this simple tutorial. Watch this:

How to do it

1. Unplug the device from the power outlet.
2. Remove the shelf located in correspondence with the hole and the vegetable container.
3. Dry up any water under the crisper drawer and in the drain with a sponge.
4. Take a cotton ball.
5. Soak it in white vinegar.
6. First run it around the outline of the opening.

7. Then insert it deep into the hole and move it back and forth.
8. Pour a little warm water to remove dirt.

Result

And you unblocked the refrigerator drain hole easily

Quick, practical and effective, isn’t it?

No more water flowing due to clogged drain!

It’s a very simple trick. You just have to think about it!

Unclogging the refrigerator drain is really simple.

And it helps empty the refrigerator.

Now the water flows normally.

No more flooding under the dresser and no more mold!

And did you notice it? This way you will also eliminate bad odors.

What item should you use to clean the refrigerator drain?

The best way to unclog your refrigerator drain is to use a special tool called a Spargetti.

You can find it here and it also works for the freezer.

But as we just saw, you can also use a simple cotton swab if you don’t have one.

And it also works with a plastic straw, a small bottle brush, a flexible steel wire or a self-locking cable tie.

How to avoid clogging it?
It is best to avoid clogging the famous hole.

To do this, simply do not place any food in the back of the refrigerator.

For example, lettuce, carrots or other vegetables should not touch the back wall of the refrigerator.

This keeps dirt and plants out of the hole.

Incidentally, this is also why some shelves have a small edge.

This eliminates the temptation to push the expense to the end!

Also remember to clean your refrigerator regularly.

This is a great way to get rid of any gunk that has gotten lost in the hole.

It’s best if you do a big cleanse every three months.

Why does it work?
White vinegar cleans and disinfects the edges of the hole.

It also removes traces of mold that have developed.

The soft rod can be used to remove trapped dirt from the hole. Serves as a drain cleaner.

And the spilled water will help flush them out.

This opening provides access to the waste tank above the refrigerator compressor.

It is therefore important that he is well constipated.

Otherwise the water will collect and drip onto the kitchen floor.

Warning: do not use bleach!

And you should know that this trick works for all brands of refrigerators:

Bosch, Whirlpool, Samsung, Liebherr, but also for American refrigerators or built-in refrigerators.
