Default refrigerator incontinence

The drain line goes out the back of the refrigerator, usually
center and at the elevation of the floor of the freezer. Algae,
ice, or some other combination can block the drain. As Stormin
said, it can be cleared by a shot of hot bleach water shot up the
drain line.

You'll have to pull all the food, ice maker, shelves, etc,
out of the freezer. Take the back off, and also carefully
pull the bottom of the freezer out. The drain should be way
in the back, in the center. It may be full of a layer of
ice, that needs to be melted first. Drain is typically about
1/4 inch diameter.


Actually, I had already removed the freezer floor. But, I went
back and
did it again. I still don't see a drain opening. There is no
ice
build-up. And, I don't see any evidence of a drain line coming
to the
bottom of the lower portion, where the drain to the evaporator
tray is.
Sometimes, I just miss things. But, is it possible that some
refrigerators don't have a freezer drain? This is a 1980-ish
model.
