Blocked Drains York

As a homeowner in York, you understand the importance of maintaining your appliances to ensure they run efficiently and effectively. One often-overlooked aspect of fridge maintenance is the defrost drain. A clogged defrost drain can cause water to accumulate at the bottom of your fridge, leading to unpleasant odors and potentially damaging your appliance. In this article, we'll walk you through the process of cleaning the defrost drain in your fridge.

To start, you'll need to find the defrost drain, usually located at the back of your fridge. Check your user manual or look for a small hole or tray at the bottom of the fridge. This is where the defrost water collects and drains out.

Once you've located the defrost drain, you'll need to remove the cover or tray to access the drain. This is usually a simple process, but be careful not to spill any water that may have accumulated.

Use a soft brush or cloth to clean out any debris or blockages in the drain. You can also use a mixture of baking soda and water to help dissolve any tough blockages. Be sure to rinse the drain thoroughly with clean water to ensure it's free from any debris.

After cleaning the defrost drain, check to make sure it's working properly. You can do this by pouring a small amount of water down the drain and watching to see if it flows freely. If the water doesn't drain, you may need to repeat the cleaning process or call in a professional.
