Frozen french drain - Refrigerators

Hey, thanks for contacting us. If water is building up in the freezer's bottom, you may need to check for its drain tube. Drain Tube might be clogged or frozen. you may need to defrost it and remove any Ice clogged in the tube.

Whirlpool corp., whom made this unit, had a bad design for the defrost drain tube by the compressor. Order part W10619951 and install. This is a kit to change out the current drain tube to a better one. You still have to defrost the frozen defrost drain tube but this will fix it for good.

The drain line is item 105A located at the back of the refrigerator.

No its the drain that's frozen....take the back panel off inside the freezer side....look down and you'll see a hole....that's your drain for the defrost....anyway heat a glass of water for 3 min in microwave....pour Down drain continue until drain is clear...

Hi Mike,
You could have an outside airleak which would let in warm moist air into the freezer.OR the condensate drain tube is plugged up or frozen up. thats the drain tube that drains the melted ice from the freezer OR the condenser fan located buy the compressor is not running. Check all drain tubes and drain channels for clo-
ging or freeze-up due to improper and complete draining.

You have a defrost drain that is frozen. You can thaw with hairdryer . I hope this helps.

Defrost drain plugged in fresh food section. Samsung will repair it under warranty. Might pay for it if you complain nicely, if it is out of warranty.

You have a frozen drain tube. Remove the back cover after unplugging the unit. Locate the drain tube running down to the drip pan. If it is frozen, thew it with a hair dryer. In the inside, find the drain hole and pour hot water in it until it drains properly. I f it happens again your defrost element is too far away from the aluminum drain pan and needs to be GENTLY lowered closer to the drain

the drain is pluged with ice and causing the water to run onto the floor of freezer .. defrost drain with hot water and a turkey baster . this shoould solve problem .. mm
