Hi Steve thanks , that was my refrigerators problem. Used a steamer to remove all the ice. Then cleaned out the drain black rubber piece. Exactly the same as your fridge. I guess this will be a future maintenance issue. Thanks again!!
@@garytagles7910 you’re welcome it actually happened a second time to me a couple weeks ago. I took a scissor and cut the whole much larger on the rubber drain connector. That will keep it from clogging again. Hopefully it doesn’t affect anything else.
@@steveng8796 that’s a great idea regarding cutting the black end . I was curious as to why they just have two small openings in that thing. Anything could clog it. I had a suburban that had rear passenger A/C. The drain dumped behind rear tire. And that vehicle also had a black end very similar to frigid. It would also clog with mud every few years. Thanks again!!
Much thanks for this video, I'm sure this was my problem. I got a couple of small pieces out and thought that was the clog, then the crap pushed through and there was a LOT there. 20+ years I've had this fridge and I've never had to clean it out until now!
This was the only fix I needed. Mine somehow had plastic, two strips of a metallic material that looked like large confetti and a hair blockage and fused together. Cleared this up and started flowing great. Thanks for posting this and saving me the hassle of opening the inside panels, using hot water and turkey basters etc that I saw in the other videos.. Thanks for posting this!
Just to echo what everyone else has already said… Thank You. To the point, quick video that fixed my fridge… not the wood floor underneath, but it’s a win today.
Thanks for this video. We had a repair guy come out two years ago. Stopped the water for a couple months. We’ve just put up with it since then as a nuisance on our tile floor every few weeks or so. I saw another video that suggested snipping the hole larger and the replacement of this discontinued part doesn’t appear to have such a small interior. Has your fridge clogged again since you cleared it?
Do you know if this is 1 major maintenance action 2 do periodically? Because I don't even c anything related 2 maintenance in my fridge's user manual. Also, I guess this short pipe drains the freezer condensation 2 the bottom pan from where it simply evaporates?
I was about to follow the other videos tearing apart the freezer but luckily found yours before I started which saved me a ton of time! I found the black plug full of pet hair and completely clogged. Not sure how it all got in there. Such an easy fix! Thanks!
You’re the man, Steve! I watched about a dozen other videos on the subject, and yours was by far the best out of the lot. Clear and Right to the point! I appreciate you taking the time out to create this video…. I feel like the least I can do, is take the time out to say THANK YOU!!
Repaired my yesterday and yes mine had dirt/hard water calcium build up in the black rubber piece blocking the two holes ! Cost of a service call, no thank you.
Steve - thank you so much. We have GE profile and my wife noticed ice build up. We watched a lot of the other videos with suggested fixes and we were very concerned about taking the drawer out and removing the inner panel. We saw your video and this was exactly our issue. You may have saved our marriage.
Nailed it - water on the floor, drain pan largely dry, cabinet kickboard fiberboard ruined, and this stupid little rubber gasket evidently designed to drive service calls as there is not benefit to reducing a drain pipe down to two pinholes. Mine was completely blocked with a sludge like material. The sheet metal screws don't even fit right on the back. Our GE is a pos and has had no end of problems.
Hey Steven G. We would like to thank you for making this video. Our 22 cubic foot, GE S x S was flooding out the front. Prior to noticing the water leak, the refrigerator was making a very intermittent popping noise like an expansion differential between the interior and the insulation. The black drain adapter with the 2 little slots was plugged like you showed. I cleaned it up real good and problem is solved. A bonus is the popping also ceased. I have no idea why the 2 little slots? Tempted to open up the slots more but don't know the consequences in doing so?
I'm not for censorship, BUT the other videos that you have to take apart the entire refrigerator basically, should be banned after watching and doing it this way! lol Thank you so much!
So far so good with this fix. The only ting I would add is that once I removed the drain pipe water did start pouring down so be careful it doesn't get on the mechanisms and floor. We have hard wood so its more concerning. Otherwise thankyou very much for the video!
Thanks Steven! I had the same water puddles and saw all the disassembly the freezer videos. This is exactly like mine and that black piece was clogged. Boy was there a bunch of water up there! (8-10 oz or so). Hopefully solves the puddles.
Our GE Profile freezer was leaking onto the floor one day. I figured it was a clogged drain tube but had no idea how to reach it. Your video saved me a ton of time and headache. There was all sorts of junk in there that probably wouldn’t have come out by simply flushing the tube. Thank you!
*_Inflated it feels light as a beach float>_**_allmy.tips/SevylorKayaks?9_**_ < so you just carry it to the water. Deflated, it feels WAY lighted then my hard shell kayaks, but oddly heavier then when it was inflated._*
