    Dank u Wel. I have a this Beko fridge in the video. Love it. I must have been one of those fools who threw away the cleaning plug. I live in Netherlands and in dutch looked for where is the water going to??? could not find info..am not patient. then today tried in English and you have my fridge and an easy explanation. Now I will remember to wipe away any condensation I see and do better at not letting food bits fall into the hole. I cleaned the whole fridge freezer yesterday and could not figure out where the water went to. no water pan under or back.
    Thank you sweetheart. Took some stress away. x

    I think my wife and I both fixed our freezerless whirlpool refrigerator leak. Used a very long tie rod and it seemed to unplug the issue. It didn't seem like it was a big opening. It had dirtyish water on top of it. The tie rod acted like a mini plunger of sorts. I guess we'll see how it did.

    After watching your video, I realized that my fridge really comes with a green plastic thing like what you said. Should I leave it in the hole as it is (will it block the drain?), or do I need to take it away and clean the hole inside the fridge with it from time to time? Actually, do we need to clean the hole with something from time to time? Please advise.

    There is more to this than just a little diddle at the back of the fridge. I bought a little kit on Amazon - only £5 - it had a stiff cable with a bottle brush sized for the hole, a tube long enough to reach the evaporator tank, and a 150 ml syringe, plus the little bung. This enabled me to clean all the way down to the evaporator tank, send soapy water via the stringe and tube down to the tank and suck it back up again. That dirty water was the colour of coffee, with bits in it = disgusting. Several syringefulls later and the water started to get much clearer.

    I have got three questions, Any kind of help would be greatly appreciated.
    What could be other reasons of condensation collection inside the fridge except following?
    1. Weak gasket fitment or loose door contact
    2. Drain blockage
    Question-2 is : How can we remove the moisture/Condensation from inside the fridge. Is there a device that gets activated and removes the moisture and then goes on hibernation and repeats the cycle.? Is there any such device.?
    How important is the location of fridge inside a room or a house?

    • @elainejohnston7987
      @elainejohnston7987 6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Ararat Garabidian Some fridges (my 2012 Frigidaire) have the drain hole on the back wall under the light/temp control assembly of the refrigerator section (under the freezer) so you will have to remove that to access it. I checked my drain pan and it was dry, collecting dust bunnies, so I knew the tube was the issue. Plus there was water under my vegetable bins! Eventually -- after almost two years of the water under the bins -- I started discovering water all over the floor. That got my attention and motivated me to fix the problem.
