My GE fridge has been leaking water into the interior of the fridge for about 2 years now. It is almost identical to the one in this video. I followed the video and with lots of hot water turkey basting, swoosh, everything drained down the hole!! Thankyou Appliance Video!! Well done!

wow! I just did this procedure and wuala! The drain is clean thanks, I will not bother anyone for this problem again. My fridge is the same at the video fridge, thank you Appliance video
I have GE GTH22SBSARSS. There are 2 square holes (right top and left top) on the first layer of refrigerator. Then, There’s water dripping sometimes from the left square hole around 2 cups per day. Is this the same issue?
You bailed us out.. Thank you for this video. We have a differeent model but basicly it was the same process. The back place in the freezer needed to come out first. Then it went well. If it was summer I would have just set the whole thing out on the front porch. No we don't have a couch out there too. Thank you for the help😀!

I had this problem recurring several times with a GE fridge Ice kept blocking the drain tube inlet I finally solved it by attaching an inverted L shape piece of 3/16" copper tubing into the drain hole, The longer side of the L has to be long enough to be placed 1-1/2 -2" inch inside the drain tube. The short end of the copper L tube, about 1-3/4" long I attached it firmly to the heating element that do the defrosting with a small screw clamp. It has not leaked ever since. The copper tube will get warm and melt any ice trying to enter the drain hole. It is a $5 fix ·

Some manufacturers have a kit to do this it's basically the same thing but a clamp on the heater element tightened with a screw with an extension to the drain all made out of aluminum.
Take the lower back panel off, it should be a fiberboard or cardboard cover with flathead screws, then poke a ziptie through the black tube on the right that curves up into a J shape. A black ball of snot should pop out with some coaxing. Then the water should drain fine, if there is no ice obstruction.

Americans always have a twist on english words. I can't find a fix for my leaky fridge because the feed is flooded with Americans referring to a freezer as a refrigerater.

Yes, but why is it icing up on the first place?
I mean we don't want to have to do this on the regular?
Thanks! We have an older fridge that needs this!

My top freezer GE is periodically dumping water onto the floor. No water in the fridge! No apparent access to the very bottom of the fridge
I have the same frigerator. The fridge doesn't stay super cold while the freezer works like a charm. Any ideas anyone??
