You can block the drain of your unit's frozen defrost by food particles or other debris. It is typically accessible from inside your freezer. Warm water can be used to flush the drain, but you may have to manually clean it. You can locate the defrost drain line at the back your refrigerator. To clean any clogs, use hot water and soap.
You can save time and money by scheduling regular maintenance with the Kitchen Appliance Checkup Package. It includes maintenance for your fridge, range, dishwasher, and range. Regular maintenance can prevent costly breakdowns, save energy and extend the life of your refrigerator.
If the problem persists even after cleaning, it could be that your refrigerator's temperature is set too low. This will cause it to run continuously to maintain a low temperature. To see if the cycle is affected, adjust the temperature in your refrigerator. If problems persist, you might consider hiring a professional to repair your refrigerator.
If you suspect that your refrigerator's water supply is frozen or clogged, unplug it and ensure its shut-off valve has been closed. You can then inspect the water supply line for cracks or tears. If the water supply line is damaged or broken, it should be replaced. Consult a professional refrigerator repair technician if you see a clog but it does not look like ice.
It's easy to arrange a consultation or appointment online during the COVID-19 epidemic. You can contact the appliance repairman and ask for a video chat. You should ask how they handle payments. Paying in advance is safer than dealing with cash or credit cards, until the pandemic has passed. Ask the professional to explain their safety procedures and preventive measures.
Check the drain that runs out of your freezer for obstructions. Any obstructions that are visible should be removed. Hot water is used to dissolve any obstructions further along the tube. The refrigerator's drain pan could be so full of water, that water is starting to leak out. Make sure to drain the water from the drain pan. Clean the drain tray with warm soapy water. Do not use abrasives.
