Please any idea would help! I cannot find anywhere to "unscrew" this tray.... my model Kenmore 60089 (20.4 cu. ft) seems different from this video - please help ?
@@user-cz7fj1hg9l The only thing I can think of if it’s not screwed on, there has to be a latch (latches) somewhere that hold it in place. Unless it’s glued on. Your best bet would be to search for a manual for your particular model to see how the assembly is held in place. Good luck!
@@weekendwarrior3814 Thank you for taking the time to reply! Also, your video is very good, especially it explains clearly why (as opposed to just how to do), thanks!
What is the name of the tool that I need to use to unscrew the screws please? And if you can send a picture please. Thank you.
@@arleneraygoza40 hi it’s a quarter inch screw socket. You can take a screenshot of the video where we demonstrate the tool to have a picture.
Thank you! That was so easy! I actually contacted a plumber and he said he would have to charge over $200 to do a cleaning or something ridiculous! Thanks so much!
Thanks! My dad died in 1998. I would have loved to show him how videos like this have made home & auto repair so much easier.
Thanks soooooo much. I'm a 79 year old female and I'm gonna do it myself to save money. I do screwdriver stuff. Appreciate you!!!
Thank you so much for this! It took me only five minutes to remove that gunk! Exactly the same gunk that is stuck in that drain! It took me more time to look for my 1/4 inch socket, now i have to re-organize my tools! Thanx again
This was so simple a fix !! But it took me a very long to find this one of a kind video. Its identical to my fridge. Just a suggestion more people who need may find faster if "Frigidaire " is in the title. Was actually a block of ice, water had frozen in the tray plugging exit.
Thanks to your video, my 1973 "Custom Crafted No Frost" Harvest Gold Hotpoint refrigerator is back to it's old self, with no water under the crisper pans. I would never have thought to check under that panel on the inside top of the fridge compartment and it took a Philips screwdriver. I'm 72 years old and on a fixed income and this saved me a ton of money and having to buy a smaller fridge. I know I'll have to replace it eventually, but not today. Thank you thank you thank you!
Thank you. It took me 8 hours to fix my fridge because I was using one of the multitude of videos that had me go through the freezer. It was when I saw that your fridge light thing was the same as mine that I knew I had found the right place. Thank you
Just curious was the water leaking out through the door seal or vents that he explained or was it coming directly from underneath the fridge itself?
Mine is flooded from the freezer and it's enlarged the hole and pushed the insulation into the fridge, because maintenance was lazy and didn't care that I was using 2 rolls of towels a day
Does TH-cam not allow you to save the video anymore?
What do I do if I have only one nut or bolt holding the thing in place and it doesn’t look like a socket driver is going to work?
It looks like a socket, it’s inside the ring, not outside it.
@@Aggression-hc3yp Not sure what you mean. You need a screw driver handle with a nut driver end. Or a long correct size socket with a rachet handle.
Perfect. Plugged and now clear and wife can stop bugging me to buy a new fridge. Thanks for your assistance 👍
T H A N K Y O U !!! We have a Frigidaire Gallery refrigerator and your video was E X A C T L Y C O R R E C T !!! Found a big plug in the exhaust tube and a block of ice. 5 sec fix. Worked just as you showed. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU
You just saved me $700 plus dollars and made me look awesome to my family after I took apart and fixed the refrigerator. You are the best.
Thanks for this simple fix. I had a lazy landlord and a wet fridge. Now neither are a problem
Dang, what did you do to the landlord? 😳Nevermind, I don't want to know.
@@ssjmichael He clearly cleaned his nipple too 😉
Just saved me a big hassle and money. Initially, I tried clearing out the drain hole in the freezer, but that wasn't it. This was exactly my problem. Thanks for the vid!
Thanks, I had changed the inlet to the ice maker thinking it was the problem. I took off the tray you showed, it was clogged and full of ice. Thanks again.
My fridge has been leaking for a while. Thought I’d have to take out all the food and defrost it. So glad I decided to look for a video to see what there was. This video helped so much. It took me longer to take the stuff out of the fridge then it did to fix it. Thanks
I have a Kenmore I bought new in 2007 that is identical to your Frigidaire, has been working like a charm until the leak started a few months back. Your video helped to identify the problem and the fix was ridiculously easy and simple. Many thanks!
This is a spot on- easy to follow video. I am, uh, not young. I followed the guidance in this video. I fixed my refrigerator and saved a bunch of money. Thank you!
I have been looking for months for a video to fix this exact refrigerator. Thank you very much!!!
Thanks for the great video. I had some food particles that lodged further down the drain tube and I was unable to clean it out with a wire because the drain tube is not straight and narrows as it travels to the bottom. I was also unable to clean the tube from their bottom. What I did to clear the drain hose was to squirt liquid bleach into the top drain hole with a turkey baster and let it set until it cleared the blockage. I then rinsed it with plain water until the blockage was completely gone.
This was invaluably helpful. Knocked out the fix on a Kenmore in half an hour. Seriously, thank you
Thank you. It was EXACTLY the problem. Fixed it inside 10 minutes, including the flush and putting away the food. Much appreciated.
Thank you I was shopping for a new fridge when I happened to look on TH-cam for a fix! Took me all of 5 minutes and fixed!!
First of all, i want to thank you, man, for this video. It solved my 2 year leaking problem with my fridge, greatly appreciated!!
This really helped me out when I found out my leaky fridge. I did what you have shown us here and hopefully it will fix the leak! Really appreciate it!
Thank you, this video saved us 100 dollars !! Worked as shown. There was a blockage. This video was very easy to follow. Thank you again !
Thanks for this video. This fixed my refrigerator and I did it in 15 minutes. I appreciate your instructions and you saved me money. Thank you!!!
Thank you so very much - I found many other you tube videos but none matched my model. I had our fridge repaired in less than 5 minutes with your video !!!!
THANK YOU! We followed your instructions and not a drop on bottom of fridge since.
We bought a place with large kitchen appliances and have been mopping the water under the crispers for 8 months. We bought a new fridge last week and I listed the old one in the local BST. I got to feeling bad about selling a leaky fridge but so glad I found your video, which gave me (66 y/o grandma) the confidence to fix it! Turned out the bio-slime plug was lodge way down-inside the channel running inside the body of the fridge, so I snaked it out with some flexible wire, ran hot water through it using a long flexible funnel. Now I can sell this old fridge and not worry about it being someone else's problem.
THANK YOU! That was exactly it. Your video was much more helpful than anything else I could find.
OMG Thank you so much. I have been struggling for months. I had not only a clog but ice in the tray blocking everything. You are amazing. Frigidaire couldn't even help me. You saved me having to call repair company.
Frigidaire probably didn't WANT to help you. More business for them.
Thank you.. was dealing with this for years and I can't believe it was such an easy fix....
I have a Kenmore (Sears) that I bought in 2012 but it exactly matched the innards of this Frigidaire, and I FIXED IT!!!! Thank you very much for your video! :)
Thank You!! I followed your directions and this was the exact problem. The drain was clogged with all kinds of gross things!! It was easy to do.
Thank you so much for this video. Saved me a ton of time and expense! I had looked a bunch of other videos and websites but this video had my exact problem for a fridge like mine. From an ice buildup in the tray right down to the sludge in the back of the drain!
I can't tell you how grateful I am for this video. Saved us from having to buy another one or paying for a repairman. Thank you!
This was very well presented and was absolutely spot on. Your guidance corrected the exact same issue I was having with our refrigerator.
Thank you.
EXACTLY what the problem was with my fridge, which I just fixed.
Thanks for the vid buds!
Thank you so much. I followed your instructions and within 10 min I fix the problem. This did help me 100 percent.
Worked great on Frigidare model FGHT1835SF1. It uses one 1/4" hex-head screw, located in recessed hole near the front center. Remove that screw and then slide/pull the console forward (toward door) to release from the two square retainer tabs.
This video is perfect, exactly what we needed to fix our fridge ourselves, it worked!! We saw a few videos before, tried a few things but hit the jackpot here. I'm so grateful... Thank YOU!! 🙏
Thank you so much. Your presentation and directions were extremely helpful. I had a block of ice that was removed and cleaned out drain hole. It was easy to do with two people. Plan to leave a towel on the base just to see if everything is okay. thank you again.
I really appreciate you for sharing this video you just saved me $ 1000 dollars I was about to buy a new fridge again thank you so much for showing me this video you are absolutely a savior
Thank you, thank you, thank you! Took about 10 minutes to fix something that was a pain in the posterior for a long time and causing unnecessary anxiety.
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I have the exact same fridge shown in your video and have been having water pooling at the bottom for years. I’d just been mopping up the water every other week with a towel! Lol. Now it’s fixed and it was amazing to see ice in the tray and a lot of gunk in the ‘nipple’. You just saved me an expensive repair bill. Merry Christmas! 🎅🏻
Thank you! I just ran into the same exact problem with my Frigidaire and followed your exact steps. Your video was detailed and allowed me to get the issue resolved without having to call for professional services.
Fixed mine in 10 minutes. Spent more time looking for my socket adapter.😢. Felt very confident while doing the work.
Great video. To the point!
Thanks. I have the same kind of Frigidaire refrigerator with a water leak problem. This video is really helpful! I followed your video and fixed the issue! Thanks again!
Easy fix! Thank you it's just what I needed. The thumbnail image is perfect, I could recognize my fridge model from it 💯
Great video. I have the same fridge and had the same problem. It's fixed now thanks to you.
Thanks for the clear cut video w/fix! My garage fridge was exactly how you showed it would be! The electrical panel that I removed had the ice buildup. The hole in the back of the fridge was clogged w/debris. After clearing the obstruction w/a round brush, and squirting water in the hole to make sure there wasn't an obstruction further down in the line I put it back together and plugged it in. Thanks again!
I think you just saved my sanity! Thank you, thank you!
I'm waiting on the thaw cycle now to see if it works but this literally took me 10 minutes to do.. brother I commend you!!!!!!
Thank you so much,I did what you thought me and my fridge is fix now.Didn’t need to buy new fridge.
Great video. This is exactly what was wrong with our fridge. I went to ACE, got the 1/4 inch tool, removed the casing, wow, a complete blockage. Removed the blockage and it's a brand new fridge. Thanks
Thank you for the quick and informative video. Saved me a lot of time and money! 👍
Thank you so much for the video on repairing my refrigerator. It was so easy my sister and we’re able to do it ourselves which was an accomplishment as we are both in our 70’s haha. It saved us a lot of money. Thank you again.
Thanks. I fixed my refrigerator today. Helpful video. Thanks again.👍👍
Thank you for taking the time to put together all of your helpful tips and tricks.
I have been looking for this video for like 5 years how to clean. This tipe of drain but this is the first time some body explained it like you thank you I just fixed one O do apartment maintenance
I have this exact refrigrator and was ready to buy a new one due to a water leak. This video was amazing! Thank you so much for producing it. Problem solved after viewing this video.
Oh perfect, had no idea it was such an easy fix.. the tray in mine was slightly clogged but frozen. Thanks a bunch
My fridge is a Kenmore (Sears), but has the same assembly. This video's instructions are identical to my needs, and I easily removed the assembly and then removed a big block of ice from the pan, and a big piece of schmutz from the nipple, just like in the video. THANKS tons! You saved me from an expensive service visit, or even a new fridge.
This was exactly the problem with my Fridgeadaire. The drain nipple was totally clogged with smeg to the point where ice was forming in the tray and water then running out and over into the bottom of the fridge. Great video.
Dear friend, thank you very much for your video, it helped me solve my problem with my Frigidaire FRT185BSB3 refrigerator.
Much success♻
Thanks, I was able to fix our fridge and look cool in front of my husband 😁 took no time at all
Same, except I was able to fix our fridge and look cool in front of my wife!😄
Great video! Very helpful. And, as the video said, it did save me money and time! Luckly it is the same model as mine. I am glad i found this video to solve a very annoying problem. Thanks a lot.
Great helpful video. I was almost buying new fridge. Easy job
Thank You for sharing this..I have water in my fridge and didnt know why..now I have a plan to solve it !!
we've been living with this for a long time and finally fixed it today (fingers crossed). it was a backed up drain tube. i used a section of clothes line. fit perfectly, and it had enough compressive strength to push it through the blockage.
excellent video. described one possible problem. I had another issue - foam seal to the freezer was not mating right and cold air came out the sides condensing water along the ceiling of the fridge. that and a door seal not fully sealing created the water problem as well. all fixed and your video helped a lot. thanks.
Thanks for this video. It was a great help. I had ice up in the recess space, but no water in the light fixture. At least I know where to check going forward and what to do. Thanks much!
omg thankyou doing this right now will update..UPDATE..Totally worked! saved me 1600 dollars wow👏 thanks again. Did it all by myself easy fix
Weekend Warrior to the rescue ! Thanks for your simple explanation and excellent video - worked like a charm.
Glacial melt is now back to normal :)
Oh my gosh! I think you just saved me hundreds of dollars! Thank you!
This is a very helpful video, with the problem and solution clearly explained in steps easily understood.
Thx for your kindness in sharing this info. God bless you.
First of all, let me say thank you for this video. I had the exact same problem with my fridge, albeit a different brand but similar in design. After watching your video it took me approx. 15 minutes and I was back up and running. Keep up the awesome videos.
Worked perfectly!!! Thank you so much. Super easy.
Thank you very much! I've been dealing with this problem for too long.
Thank you for your video my friend I fixed my refrigerator in 5 minutes. 👏👏
You are the best of the best. I was using kotex to catch the overflow. Then trying to let it dry, to re-use. There's a gel in there binding the water. Kotex, after kotex. This is now 2 weeks. Well, my hole was filled with what appears to be cat hair and mildew. I removed this thick plug. I cleaned out the catch basin after removing the ice-skating rink in it. Then with shout, followed by WD40, then windex. The unit is spotless and reassembled. I can't thank you enough, kind sir!!!!!!
Love you man thank you. I’m a female lol and did this and it’s working much love blessings and abundance to you for your helpful video ❤
Did this today. Also found a plug of trash in the hole in back of fridge. Time will tell if this cured my problem. Your video was really helpful. I guess if it continues I'll need to blow out the drain line. Saved me from buying a new fridge.
THANK you Sir,,, I was looking for a hole near the bottom,,, YOU showed me where it is,,,,, THANKS!!!!
Omg.
I just did this in my fridge because was leaking. It just took my less then 10 min to take apart, take out what was blocking it and put back. It was ice and some nasty gunk.
Thank you so much for this video 👍👍👍
Great video. My exact problem. Thank you!
THANK YOU!!!!!!!!! This is the problem solution I've been looking for. Subscribed, thumbs UP!!!
Great video! You saved me from running out to buy a new fridge! Thank you.
Thank you so much! The hardest part was plugging it back in !!!
Thank you for the explanation and demonstration: this is extremely useful information. I cannot believe how much water pools at the bottom of the fridge due to this problem. Frigidaire in general is not as reliable in terms of longevity as it used to be (minus this problem). God bless you!
Great video, similar to my fridge and follow your instructions to fix my problem. Thanks a lot.
Wow this was happening to my fridge. I followed the steps here and come to find out a the hole on the tray had got plugged up with some tomato piece of sort. I removed it and now fridge is no longer leaking. Thanks for posting this 👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks for the advice and video. Was easy to clean and nice to know what tools I would need
Yay problem solved. Thank you so much. I have exact same refrigerator which had exact same problem.
💪👍
Straight to the point, thank you!
That is exactly what the problem was. Great informative video and subscribed for more!
Very helpful, thank you for taking the time brother. Mine was frozen.
Thanks very much. My girlfriend is no longer complaining about soggy egg cartons as of today. 😂 Great video.
Wow if only I googled this weeks ago! Seems to be the first thing that comes up when you type in why does my Kenmore fridge ..... Lol. Thank you for saving my fridge!
