Unblocking a Fridge Drain Hole<\/h2>\n

A fridge drain hole is a small opening in the back or bottom of your refrigerator that allows water to drain from the freezer compartment during the defrost cycle.<\/p>\n

If this drain hole becomes blocked, water can accumulate in the fridge, leading to leaks and potentially even mould growth. Fortunately, unblocking a fridge drain hole is a relatively simple process that can be completed with just a few basic tools.<\/p>\n

In this article, we’ll walk you through the steps to unblock a fridge drain hole and get your fridge back in good working order.<\/p>\n

Before we begin\u2026<\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. Disconnect the appliance from any power supply and isolate the supply so it cannot be accidentally reconnected while you are working on it.<\/li>\n
  2. Wear gloves! While appliances are nice and smooth on the exterior and pose no risk to cuts etc, the inside of appliances can be extremely sharp as they are not designed for consumers hands to be inside the machine.<\/li>\n
  3. If you are not confident in attempting any repair to a domestic appliance, then call an expert.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
