The hole you seek is generally to be found at the back of the fridge low down at the base of a funnel-shaped moulding in the plastic of the lining.

Water droplets formed during the defrost cycle do so mainly at the back where they should be able to trickle until channeled by the funnel shape they fall through a small length of hose into a tray mounted on top of the motor where the heat will evaporate the water.

If you have difficulty finding the hole from the inside then poking a wire or something upwards through the hose from the back should make it more visible as well as ensuring it is clear.

My Amana SBDE520SW side by side fridge/freezerleaks water from the freezer. Does anyone have a service manual for this model. Not sure if its heater, thermostat or control board.

Is there is ICE build up on the freezer floor. If so then your drain line is blocked. If you are not tech savvy then defrost the empty fridge by keeping the both door open at least 10 hour so. This might unplug the drain hole. But if there is dirt in the drain hole this method will not help.

Best way defrost the fridge and access the drain hole and clean it. Make sure not damage the aluminium coil (evaporator) with sharp objects.

Doewoo no frost fridge freezer is working fine except that we keep getting puddles of water under the freezer door. any ideas. had about 4 years now

probably a blocked drain outlet or pipe. At the bottom rear of the unit, mine had a drain pipe blocked with a plug of mould (5/6 years old machine), apparently quite common. I detached the pipe and cleaned it out and replaced it.
From inside the freezer, I removed the lower back panel and thawed the ice build up on the drainage tray below the defrost heating element, leading to the pipe outside. The puddles of water that was appearing every defrost cycle have now stopped - permanently I hope. Hope this helps you

Water keeps developing on the floor below the freezer door. The seals are ok and the freezer compartment it's self is fine and doesn't appear to be leaking from there. Any advice would be appreciated....

You have a blocked drain.
There is a condensation drain at the back above the pump with a small tube that is meant to deposit water onto the pump for evaporation - the drain gets blocked so the condensation flows out through the front door. Also makes big rivers of ice at the back of your freezer behind the bottom shelf??
Solution - Dismantle the inside of the freezer - take all the plastic trim outof the back of the freezer with a screw driver - don't worry, it's only trim and goes back easily. Eventually you will see the drain collector (flat V shape) and at the point of the V is a small hole, pour warm water in this till it drains to the pump at the back, instead of down onto your floor at the front. You may need to clean the hole too as it gets gunked up.
You can also help by finding the drain tube above the pump at the back and gently inserting a chopstick or similar untill the warm water empties onto your hand !
Takes about an hour all in all and has been fixed for a year now on mine.

Water leaking from under the freezer

Until defrosting the block of ice you canot see if is a hole or crack in the bottom. But I suppose is leaking from the door gasket under the pressure of the ice inside. Anyway, if you want to keep alife your refrigerator, better unplug it, defrosting and clean it before complete annihilation.

My dishwasher is aprox. 9 years old and has always worked fine. on the last load, a hard scum was left on everything....any suggestions??

You can get dishwasher descaler crystals to flush out and clean the machine.

Make sure the water jets are not blocked. you can use a sharp object to poke the holes and free them up if they are blocked. Also make sure when you are loading dishes, they are not resting on the water jet propellers and they move freely.

Also remove the bottom tray filters and clean thouroughly.

Hope this helps.

Maytag side by side refrigerator ice forms at the bottom of freez

Your drain is probably plugged. Remove the back panel in the freezer and keep squirting hot water down the drain hole with a turkey baster or something similar until it clears. The drain hole is located at the bottom of the coils in the freezer section. Your refrigerator goes into defrost every 8 to 10 hrs. When this happens, it melts the ice on the coils, which in turn, runs out the hole where the drain is. If something like algae is blocking or plugging the hole, it will plug up causing water to freeze over the hole. The water has nowhere to go but out the door.
