How to Unblock Fridge Drain in York: A Step-by-Step Guide

Is your fridge's drainage system clogged, causing water to accumulate at the bottom? Don't worry, we're here to help. At Blocked Drains York, we've dealt with numerous fridge drain blockages in York and surrounding areas. In this article, we'll walk you through the process of unblocking your fridge drain and provide tips on how to keep it clean.

Locating the Drain Hole

The first step is to locate the drain hole, usually found at the bottom of the fridge, near the back. This hole is designed to allow water to flow out of the fridge and into the drainage system. Check if the hole is clogged with debris, food particles, or ice.

Cleaning the Fridge Drain

To clean the fridge drain, you'll need a few basic tools:

  • A soft brush or a pipe cleaner
  • A mixture of baking soda and water
  • A cloth or sponge
    Insert the soft brush or pipe cleaner into the drain hole and gently scrub away any blockages. If the clog is more severe, mix baking soda and water to create a paste, and apply it to the affected area. Let it sit for a few hours before rinsing with warm water.

Preventing Future Blockages

To keep your fridge drain flowing freely, make sure to:

  • Regularly clean the drain hole and surrounding area
  • Check the fridge's drainage system for any signs of blockages or damage
  • Avoid overloading the fridge, as this can cause water to accumulate and lead to blockages
