The water from my fridge is not draining, cleaned the little hole that is the drain but still it is blocked, anyone know how I can unblock it.

    The plastic drain pipe can be about 10" long and in the past ive just used a long straw and feed'd it all the way in and just repeated and this has sorted it ;-)
    Remember dont try and flush it out with more water cos the water just run's in to a small plate/dish that sits on top of the fridges compressor which is the evaporated away and dont really hold that much liquid.....

    Are you able to pull your fridge out to examine the drain pipe and the tray it empties into?
    Last time I did this I was shocked at the awful 'gunge' that had slowly built up in the drain tray!
    Being able to see the end of the drain tube you will be able to see when it is free of debris!
