Comments: I have a GE refrigerator, model #
TFX25JRBBWW. The freezer side is leaking
water on the lower front left side.
After a little research, it appears this is the result of
the drain being frozen over. I removed
all the ice build-up and poured a solution of warm water mixed with baking soda
down the drain hole. This worked for
about 7-10 days, but after the ice build-up was back and was again dripping
water.
When the look at the back of the unit, the fan does go on
to start the evaporation process, but the drip pan doesn't look like it's seen
water in years.
What am I doing wrong and can we get this to work as
expected? The unit is about 13 years old
and I'm pretty handy.
By the way, was your wife a principal at Gallimore
elementary school in Canton? My daughter
went there!
Thanks
Answer:
Hi Terry, thanks for your note. Yes my wife was the
principal and the best they ever had. She still misses it but keeps herself
busy with a ton of charity work. You are correct--the drain is plugged. To
clean the drain you need to take a turkey baster filled with hot water and blow
it through. Do this 3 or 4 times. Pouring something in there will only move the
blockage a short way and then it will settle back to the original spot. I know
you can fix this and let me know how it goes. Regards Joe Gagnon.
