Whirlpool Refrigerator Drain Tube Freezing

Whirlpool refrigerator defrost drain clogged.

Whirlpool refrigerator drain tube freezing.

I had water dripping from the freezer into the refrigerator compartment. The motion for preliminary approval of the settlement explains that whirlpool in late 2009 and early 2010 began selling combination refrigerator freezers with newly designed freezer drain tubes that allowed the company to produce a cost reduced machine compartment the new tubes were designed to channel defrosted water from the bottom. Drain heaters prevent the water in the drain pan from re freezing and clogging the defrost drain. My frost free whirlpool freezer keeps freezing up where the excess water is supposed to go down the tube and collect in the tray below.

If your drain heater is defective or is not in the proper position the defrost drain might freeze over. This video shows how i repaired my late model whirlpool refrigerator.
