WATER at the Bottom of your FRIDGE .....EASY FIX
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 1 ก.ย. 2016
- Hi, this video shows you a very easy fix for water collecting at the bottom of your fridge or on the floor by your refrigerator. You will probably have a blocked condensation drain. Clean it out with a Q-Tip (Cotton swab/bud) and if it is still blocked insert a long thin flexible bit of plastic or thin curtain wire. Make sure the fridge has been unplugged/disconnected from the electricity supply before inserting anything into the condensation drain hole.
Many thanks Vince - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
Thanks for this! Worked perfectly. Appreciate that you just get right to it and don't make us sit through a long rambling introduction.

Hi

Fjgh
I put a straw in it and blow it works a treat.
The world need more people like you. Thanks.
Mate you are a legend! Been having this problem for months and was actually contemplating buying a new fridge! Don’t this and no water since! Thanks mate 👏🏻
Vince, you are a legend. Perfectly easy to follow and straight to the point. Worked for me, much appreciated.
I'm so glad your video stayed up on TH-cam this long! Your quick fix saved me a lot of time and grief (not to mention money!). I am happily in your debt!
Thank you! I fixed my blocked fridge with a q-tip, a zip tie, and two minutes of my time. So pleased! We were really starting to worry about it.
Fantastic! I was so tired of using cloths to dry it. Thank you so much!
Thanks for the short-and-sweet answer. Some videos are just too long.
Just want to say thank you so much for taking the time to share this video.
I'm one of those "more money than sense" types, when I bought my house last year the fridge came with it. It started to do this a few months ago so I assumed it was due to it being used goods. I almost impulse bought a new fridge today... seriously!! I'm so glad I watched this video first. Saved me a lot and I am feeling so much less stressed now lol!!!
THANK YOU fridge drainer was filling up for few days was worried hadto get a engineer, tried ur method worked like a dream 👍🏻
We had the exact same problem in our fridge a year or two ago. Thought we're about to go out and buy a new fridge. Thank You My Mate Vince!
Thank you, I was all ready to start unscrewing bits from the back of the fridge to sort it out 🤪
At last, a video on TH-cam that is actually of benefit.
Great job, I'll give it a whirl!
I've been having this problem for ages and didn't know what it was so THANK YOU!! Worked perfect 👌
You are a star! Worked a treat, been mopping it out for a few weeks now as drainage hole plunger supplied with the fridge wasn't working. Two seconds and ... boom, water drained straight down after putting a cotton bud around it!! Superb!
ITs amazing the videos you come across on youtube! I have had this issue for months with my fridge and was on the verge of buying a new one! The dirt that came out of that wee hole was mental! Thanks for the video - super helpful!
Thanks Vince! I have been working to unclog my Leibehrr drain for a couple years (with a sponge in place to catch overflow) and never thought of using something flexible so I was only able to unclog the first 2-3 inches each time (worked once or twice). Today I used a pipe cleaner and got about 8 inches into the drain and it unclogged it. Yay! Saved me a min. of $135 service visit for my built-in frig.
I was ready to pay a repair charge with zanussi. Saved me a small fortune. I used a long cable tie just like in the video and no more water is pooling under the salad drawers. Thank you so much 😊
Thanks for the video. (After turning the fridge off I used a net curtain wire out of the bedroom after taking the ring off the end. Didn't have anything plastic that long.) Worked a treat! 👍🏼
Amazing! Thank you so much! Wish I'd looked this up sooner, would have saved me a week's soggy towels!!
That's such great advice. This evening cleared a second lot of water in two months. Thought I'd check on YT and your advice came true and sound. As soon as I put an ear bud to the hole I could hear water run down so I knew I'd cleared something. Will keep doing and also look for a longer plastic to go down there. Thanks 😊
Thank you!! I didn't know the little hole was a drain! Mines been leaking water for months now was just about to get a new fridge freezer but thought I would try TH-cam first. And it worked. Fab!
Just looking to get a new fridge freezer because of the leak then see this video. Did the job with a cotton bud that easy. I take my hat off to you sir. Thank you
You just said about switching the fridge off just before I stuck a metal pipe cleaner down the hole. Lol. Phew didn't blow myself up.
You’re lucky you didn’t damage the flux capacitor.
I just put a Qtip inside the small hole in my fridge and it unclogged immediately!!! i We've had this problem for years i can't believe how easy fix it was! should've looked this up much earlier but thanks a lot for this video, forever grateful!
Thank you very much! You saved my life and my budget. For two weeks, I have attempted to figure it out. It worked perfectly!!!
Thank you for this video. You helped me notice and remove the mold growing inside the drain hole that blocked water. It also allowed me to impress my (non-handyman) husband with fixing another thing around the home. :-)
You are a Legend, My Mate Vince! Thank you. You've no idea how satisfying it was to see the gloopy pool disappear to a place I know nothing more of, or how silly I felt after looking at this problem for almost a year's mopping.
THANK YOU! We've had this issue for way too long now, and we've just been wiping the fridge daily, but since we are moving away from this apartment in less than a week, we thought we would give this a go instead of calling someone in to have a look. And it worked. Thank you for saving us a completely unnecessary bill.
Fixed the refrigerator, all the water pooling around the drain hole just went down after inserting the q-tip. Thank you for posting this and saving me both trouble and money!
This unexpectedly appeared in my feed, and I hadn't even googled how or what to do when this happens! Thanks a million for this advice. I've been placing kitchen towels underneath to catch the water for several months. 👍👍
Me too! I ordered a "blocked fridge drain hole cleaner" from Temu and it has all he described that you need, so going to give it a good poke later! 😁
I used the Daily Mail! Great at absorbing condensation!
Thanks so much. I was thinking we would have to buy a new fridge but then I found your video. Hopefully our fridge won’t get a soggy bottom ever again! 😊
Brilliant, worked a treat with hanger...I was close to buying a new fridge freezer! Many thanks!!
A million thank you's for this --- I was panicking and thinking of calling someone out to look at my fridge x Have subscribed.
It’s always the simple things in life to make life itself run smooth! Cheers pal.
I watched your video and I discovered the drainage hole was blocked by ice and I would never have thought to look for it until I watched your video thank you so much.
Thank you very much. I spent hours defrosting the fridge, thinking that a build-up of ice may have been stopping the water from draining. Then I tried what you suggested and, voila, only then was the problem solved!
I have been mopping up the water with towels for weeks. Thanks for a "to the point" solution.
Thanks for this advice, will give it a try. What a clean fridge you have!
Excellent👍🏼 for months I’ve been putting paper towels down and regularly mopping the bottom every few days! Like ‘Abbi K’ said this randomly came up, I should have thought about a TH-camr solution yonks ago! Nice one Vince! 👏🏼
Thanks a bunch! Suspected this was the case and nice to have it confirmed and with correct way to deal with it. I couldn't close fridge door because bottom tubbed- shaped container was floating in an inch of water!!!
Watched this video, fixed my fridge ( always wondered what that hole was for) thank you very much.
What an excellent video, saved me buying a new fridge. Thank you.
Thank you. It worked flawlessly... the drain was literally NASTY. Well...I guess this day isn't wasted - I've learned something new :)
I did this with garden wire. It worked! Brilliant, the fridge has moved house and it's still good. Thanks, the q tip or thin bamboo knitting needle wasn't enough.
You are a Star! Thanks for that easy tip, thought I would have to buy a new fridge. Job done!
Thank you, i hope it works. It has been bothering me for a while, im glad i found this on youtube!
Thanks a mil! I was terrified I needed a new fridge! This worked a treat
Excellent. My fridge is built-in and so it's tricky to gain access at the back. Your tip will probably do the trick.
Thank you so much I'm fed up stepping in the regular puddle in the kitchen in my socks!! My hero!
This was a lifesaver!!!! I didn't have wire so i rolled up a sleeve of paper towel and managed to clean the gunk out
For years and years we had been cleaning up water that was always on the floor of the fridge aswell as on the kitchen floor, our fridge was getting old so we bought a new 1, Within a month the same thing was happening, again, so i made a point of marking on the calender to Wash-wipe the fridge out, soak what ever water had gathered ,i even told my husband "In my last will and testament it will say this is your Must do job when i pass away" he just Laughed and said "Yes dear " Thank god i found your video explaining what to do i never even noticed there was a hole there .Thank you Mr Vince ,your a star :-)
Just got home 2 a fridge full of water, worked a treat thankyou
Thanks a million..so well explained and demonstrated..thought I was facing a fridge replacement.
Thank you for this clear tutorial. I've had this problem for a little while. Tried this today and voila!
Thank you so much for this. I have been having this problem for a few weeks and I thought it was breaking down. I will try this.
Thank you so much. Short and sweet. No rambling on.
Thanks so much. Problem solved. I was on the verge of buying a new fridge.
Thankyou best advice ever with a cable tie I had this problem for 3 years and no matter what I did it still didnt fix it , then I went and bought some cable ties best purchase ever and for the first time there is no water ...I had been putting a tea towel under the drawer to soak the water up and now not a drip ....
Hero thanks!! Mrs was going to make me splash out on 2 new fridges as coincidentally both of ours side by side had the same problem!!
You have saved my life today, thank you so much this little things mean a lot to some people. I appreciated and subscribed🙏
I was trying to do this with a coat hanger but it wouldn't go down, the only long plastic I had was a cable tie, worked a treat! Thanks for video 👍
Thanks for that. I didn't even think of that and was gonna go out and buy a new fridge freezer!
Very helpful indeed, I was thinking I need a new fridge! Thanks a million!
Helen de Bray me too! Was just about to look ar prices for a new one
Thanks Dude! That’s exactly what’s up with my fridge. You are a star
Flippin heck, didnt know it was such an easy fix! Took me all of 30 seconds! Thanks mate top man 👌
Great tip, solved the issue right away (used an extra long zip tye for those who have some lying around). Cheers!!
I've been cleaning up the disgusting water at bottom of my fridge for over a year. Sorted ! Thank you!!
SO excited to have solved my problem - Thank you, thank you. This is such a kind thing to do.
Great video! Straight to the point and solved my problem in 2 minutes :)
Thank you for posting this video. You have been very helpful. This has only ever happened once before. And again recently. I have done what you said. Hopefully it has worked for me.
Yup - I used a single core from 1.5mm Twin & Earth cable which worked a treat. Thanks for posting 👍
So glad I live in the 21st century. I thought that I was going have to contact the landlord or buy a new fridge. Luckily, random guy on TH-cam saves my butt again. Thanks dude!
Thank you for this life saver! I wouldn't have known otherwise
Thanks for that. Like all good ideas, it is really simple! Our fridge has been filling up with water at the bottom and spilling out. Guess what I am about to do this morning!
This is such a nice, thorough explanation! Thank you!
Thank you for this! I used a long cable tie and it worked instantly 😊
Thanks a million Vince. You've saved me from madness
17 seconds in and problem fix!!!!! THANK YOU
Thank you so much I just cleared it with the q tip like you said, easy as pie, i have been cleaning the bottom dor several months now!
Thank you for not making this video excruciatingly long just to squeeze out ad money. You are a hero.
Thank you so much my fridge have the same problem and i didnt know what to search from google. So thank you 😊
Thanks for the tip, the wire hanger was two bendy. So i used an unused nasogastric tube. Every now and again its put through my nose and pushed in the stomach. This was a spare one. Ideal for such a drain
It is SO RANDOM that this has come up on my feed when my fridge has been doing this for 6 months. I tried unblocking the hole but to no avail.... Is my phone psychic?!? How could it possibly know! 🤔
Edit: just poked a feather quill as far down the hole as I could and all the water suddenly drained away! I'm thrilled (though my cat isn't... It was his toy and I threw it away!) he has others.... 👍💕
Same here!!!. So Random.. I was just about to buy a new fridge
Same here. I dont think it is random.
Too many random coincidences.
This just happened to me now is this not suspicious ta fuk
Who knows everyone.... But it helped us! Fate, coincidence, Carl Jung would say synchronicity I suppose!
And if any of you regularly see double numbers like 11:11 well.... Its a rabbit hole....! 😂❤️
Found a tomato covering the hole. Easy fix when you know what to look for. Thank you for posting!
Thanks so much! Was constantly wiping up water, and using just a few Q-Tips per the video solved my problem completely!
Short and useful. I love you Vince!
Thank you very much for your advice. Going to try it tomorrow (bedtime)
omg thank you so so so so much i tought it was broken because i had so so much water inside the fridge. the hole is a little hiden visually. thank you so so much
Wow cotton bud worked immediately! Thank you!!!
Thanks very much for this. Cleared gunk out and it has fixed the 'sticking' door as well! :)
Thank you! Was about to order a new fridge! ☺️👍♥️♥️♥️♥️
Thank you for this! Everything looked clean, so I tried pouring a bit of warm water with bi-carb down. There was a crackling noise, then a lump of ice appeared at the bottom of the pipe! Guess my fridge was set too cold and the whole thing froze.
Thank you for this tip. Saved buying a new fridge-freezer.
Thank you! Why don't they teach people stuff like this as general life skills in school.
Oh gosh... Thank you so much.. Just came across this.... Eye opener certainly... Thanks🙏🙏🙏
I appreciate you thank you, I was literally about to buy another fridge lmao. this worked!
I have that problem now and will be trying what you showed. Thank you.
Thank you Vince. Mines new, so think it may be stuff inside against the back wall. Great advice from you.👍
Legend, nice, easy and straight to the point fix. thanks
