Quick Fix - How to stop water collecting in a fridge

[@manecklen]

LOVED that the music was louder than him, mate.

[@hellomess9925]

I was planning on buying a new fridge so you have saved me a lot of money my friend. thank god for you.xxx

[@LittleBev30]

Thank you very much! Fixed in 3 seconds - am very grateful, I was worried the fridge was broken, saved me a call out fee.

[@tlee4218]

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

[@KielanGaming]

I just got a tiny bottle brush for straws and it fitted great to clean it out.

[@SoothingLifeSoundtrack]

Had this problem and managed to fix it in 5 seconds because of your suggestion of a cotton bud! Thank you!!

[@TonyWarriner]

omg - fridge now fixed. I was going to buy a new one! Many thanks :)

[@mick-tl5ui]

You may find like me, that this tool is still blocking the hole, from when you first purchased the fridge and only needs removed! Thanks for a great video.

[@KathleenMc73]

Michael Heron yup!!! No indication it was supposed to be removed!!!

[@DarrenJohnBayliss]

Thanks so much mate! I thought I was needing a new fridge! Watched your video and five minutes later the jobs sorted. Thanks to KZbin and helpful people like you!

[@Albanian_traveller]

Hi Did he say to take it out or let it in? Couldn't figure it out since 1. My English isn't perfect and 2. The shitty music. Thank you kn advance

[@Dreamskater100]

@@Albanian_traveller Clean it 'out'. There are subtitles if you click the settings.

[@andrewszekely6547]

​@@Albanian_travellerAfter cleaning, remove it!

[@rhythmstic]

Terrific video, fixed my fridge freezer & saved me £££s - many thanks.

[@kmlee2801]

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.

[@Kelly-zt3nv]

Lol I had a white one in my old fridge that I left in and cleaned it often. Now I have a new one and nothing in the hole .Confusing. Did you leave yours in the hole lol or just clean with it when needed.

[@kmlee3173]

​@@Kelly-zt3nvI leave it in the hole.

[@dazedconfuzed6]

Either only use music for the intro or don't use it at all, I can't concentrate on what the guy is saying.

[@tinafleuty7799]

I agree and have commented about the music !! :)

[@TacomaJD]

He said he has a wee bung. Duh.

[@rickcardone1070]

I can't hear him good with the music.

[@AdrianJayeOnline]

dude, I got a hard-on listening to that music, couldn't work out why then realized it's the backing music from "Debbie does Dallas"

[@aurawright2130]

I agree

[@Berserk1080]

Thank for the video and KZbin for your infinite knowledge.

[@ezeefix]

No problem, glad to be of help.

[@Nicole.92]

Are you from Northern Ireland? I’m from cookstown here! You sound like your from Belfast? This helped fixed our fridge! I’ll be my parents favourite child now 😂

[@Catherine3385]

Ahh this might just be how to fix my water in the fridge problem. Glad I stumbled across your video

[@fuckheadprime]

Thank you! Fixed my Westinghouse WRM2400WD in 10 seconds :)

[@kimgrattage2395]

Have'nt got plastic thing to unblock it with, but have cotton buds, will try it out tomorrow. my freezer working fine, just the fridge part at the top. Thanks for the tip.

[@Scangull]

Why is there a musical accompaniment to this?

[@bobboo540]

To dance to?

[@thejuicyme]

Very helpful and straight to the point, many thanks

[@sohaib304]

Thank you,what should you do when the hole is blocked and don’t open?

[@Riggers24]

Thank you very much for the advice, water drained down straight away and has fixed the problem 👍🏻

[@miladydewinter7770]

I wondered what that little piece of plastic was for -- thank goodness I kept it -- THANK YOU.

[@MEGAPEKLO]

Can't hear the music. Could you please speak a little bit more quiet?

[@432b86ed]

Tomas Ehn Yeah, who cares about the refrigerator? We need to be grateful that another youtuber can be artsy-craftsy in their presentation.

[@hazelb7218]

Thanks...very useful video.....i didn't even notice the hole or the plastic thing in it of my new fridge freezer....i thought it was because i had it on too high or something....mine kept getting water at the bottom.....now i've removed the plastic plughole (kept it safe) it should be ok...and i will check it regularly for blockages!! x

[@idolgenius]

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.

[@justicesmomstacy]

What tools will I need? I hear you say just 4 screws and i think you add "and bolts". Do i just need to remove the 4 screws? I dont have any tools that fit the bolt, so i dont wanna do what I can just to have to reinstall the screws to find another tool. Thank you

[@keepercoach]

Amazing....being new in the UK, but handy in Canada, I never knew about this at all. Simple and brilliantly explained, thank you for saving me a ton of money.....

[@tsholom3526]

This video saved my fridge, thank you 😊

[@bmcfadden2096]

Brilliant advice. Was going to buy a new fridge freezer too. Cheers

[@kenzakenza9580]

Thank you so much, it actually worked and saved me from cleaning the floor twice a day ❤

[@KarenHuffman5_1]

I love your accent and I love that your video fixed my fridge:)

[@terrys82ts]

top job, clean as a whistle now no more flooded fridge!

[@chihuahuapixieprincess2482]

Thank you - I was thought I needed a new fridge 😁

[@marilyntomlo5270]

Thank you so much for the info. I did have a problem understanding everything you said. But again, thanks.

[@joshuarosen6242]

Thank you very much. The fix worked perfectly. Our fridge has been doing this for ages so this video was very useful.

[@AndieJxoxo]

Thanks for the vid. Had a big clump of oogieness in my drainage hole that is now gone. :)

[@titodejesus6238]

Dude , where arebyou from? Thank GOD for the closed captions!!

[@sarahalmeida1773]

Thank you for this wonderful tip! I just "fixed" my leaking refrigerator! :-)

[@halimabegum3565]

Where can I buy this little brush from

[@kirstenvanderzee542]

Thanks you so much!! Took me seconds and it's all sorted now 😊

[@BeccaBee20]

Perfect video. No waffle. All facts.

[@petercasavant180]

I have a kenmore fridge with ice and water dispenser on the door , my issue is that the trigger switch that dispenses the water stopped working . I still get water to the ice maker so its not a water supply issue is there a switch or something that dispenses the water and is it an easy fix?

[@leepayne9454]

Should we keep that green cleaner stick in the hole all the time? Or only for cleaning?

[@KathleenMc73]

Lee Payne that's exactly what I was going to ask. There's nothing to say you should remove it. Mine's been in for 3 years!! Only now am I finding puddles of water under the drawers.

[@foxylady9110]

KathleenMc73 Hahaha I'm here with the same question, I guess it's thin enough for the water to get past probably better to leave in the hole then you won't lose it, at least we know what it's for now.

[@rosewilliams4874]

Can i buy one of those used to clear hole

[@SharbinVlog]

do you keep the plastic tool inside the hole? it was inside the hole when i bought the fridge

[@merridyj1369]

I agree with Jeff Darnell. Lose the distracting beat music. Can't listen to this.

[@emmakeane650]

This was so helpful, thank you.

[@justinmainwaring7790]

Ibe just bought a brand new beko.fridge freezer frost free ,in the fridge im noticing water on the back internal panel above the leak tray is that normal the temp is set to medium number 2 out of 5 settings 5 the highest

[@jimdent351]

Will a plugged drain cause intermittent quitting of the refrigerator (cold freezer, but warm fridge). Yesterday, the fridge wasn't working, but the freezer was. Also, the vent was covered over with frost, and a sheet of ice on bottom of freezer. Today everything works good, but still a layer of ice on freezer bottom.Thanks

[@s2ci316]

Thx for the info man, it worked for my fridge

[@heathersmith5237]

Nice advice, except my fridge has no hole there or anywhere. Doesn't work.

[@judyearley7445]

CTX18BASERWH is the model of my fridge, I cannot find the drain hole- do you know where it is located?

[@BB-fo6nl]

Can't believe that green plug has been in the drainage hole in my fridge for 5 years and I had no idea what it was for!

[@EckyBoy007]

Now I know what that little green stick is for. Cheers fella :)

[@JamesCarmichael]

I can't believe it was that simple. I was putting rice, salt and all sorts in there to absorb some of the moisture and nothing worked. In the end I shoved a pen down the hole and it fixed it.

[@amiga2025]

what is the point of the drum track? Can't focus of narration!!

[@medceltic]

why music ??

[@monkeygun1]

You sir, are a genius, thanks very much.

[@ryans413]

Walked into my kitchen once stepped on water like a lot big puddle on the floor opened my fridge and the bottom of the fridge was wet like a lot. I cleaned it all up next morning was fine. It has never done that before

[@raym104]

what can I do if the blockage, which feels solid, is closer to the ope above the evaporator tray?

[@Brainmalfuction]

hey i have this problem but there is a small try under the drain hole that fills with ice and blocks the hold any idea why its freezing ?

[@jahanzaibjawed5923]

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?

[@anthonyharlow8970]

i used a curtain wire but unfortunely water is back, any suggestion

[@ararat4135]

Hi What if the fridge doesn't have that hole?

[@elainejohnston7987]

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.

[@jilldaltonnyc7545]

My frig doesn't have that little brush thingy. What do I use instead? A Q-tip?

[@81penguin]

He says in the video - a cotton bud (which is a Q-tip...)

[@mordrid4u]

thanks im having the same problem. this video was very helpful

[@jadesara8995]

Thanks, very helpful. Solved my problem with my fridge leaking :)

[@richardshort3914]

This was very good, other than that goofy disco beat music.Thank you very much.

[@bobbg9041]

I've taken out all the stuff inside my Fridg looking for this Drain hole it don't have one at all. It does have a fan to help control humidity inside of it but the fan seems to have stopped running I think could this be the problem and what would that type of fan be called? This is in the normal cool part of the fridg not the Freezer and its a self defrost fridg. Kenmore model number #363.79262991 Sears and Roebuck before Sears did whatever to Roebuck??? Now its Just Sears.

[@da324]

Did you take the back panel off in the freezer?

[@bobbg9041]

I seen a different you- tube video on the subject that's clued me into thinking its more like my fridg then what your showing, I think its a drain that shots out the back by the top and rides down to a pan by the compressor to evaporate. But thanks anyway.

[@docbrown6550]

I had the same problem with mine, a good friend worked on them, he came by the house to look at it and simply put a little bleach down the line, Algae was building up blocking the line and the bleach cleared it up in just a few minutes.

[@jenniferhunt6100]

Done everything you said one week later filled up again and will not stop, the little hole is totally cleaned, is there anything else it can do? Driving me mad! Water pulls in the bottom of the fridge everyday. 😫

[@lordofbore]

Nice one ,thanks for the tip !!

[@christopherlennon]

What do I do if the blockage is from the wayer freezing at the drain hole

[@Sidg2]

Will this issue of water leakage come back after few weeks and months

[@tinafleuty7799]

thank you for the info, a great help :) The music is somewhat annoying though :)

[@johnmclaughlin1940]

mines a bush frost free f/f leaking water to bottom any help

Worked. Diggin' the music too. Thanks

[@amandaclare226]

[@Beadifferent]

[@BrianRueth]

My refrigerator does not have a drainage hole anywhere inside the refrigerator compartment.

[@Phillymanjaro]

Great advise! Thanks.

[@JimmySlacksack]

what if the hole is frozen over? any tips ?

[@djpaulywood]

+Slack Jicholson just happened to me - clear out as much ice as possible - i even thawed out the top of tube with each finger tip until i couldnt go any further into the tube - then i boiled water in microwave and used a turkey baster to fill the tube and in no time it was clear.

[@old64goat]

turn of the stupid noise, I can't hear you

[@samuelnewman4607]

What if it is Frost instead of water an its an integrated built in Fridge ?

[@carolynlewis1306]

Wow thank you for this 🙂

[@steveb9151]

Helpful...and a neat accent, too!

[@maryawnee3081]

Thanks for your help!

[@TR4zest]

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.

[@jfahlen]

Thanks, the info is good, but so hard to hear with that drumbeat in background.

[@charmberry9310]

I cant find the hole in the fridge!! What else could it be??

I don’t that but still it’s blocked help
