Sawsheezle fixing fridges

So you have a nice new modern "frost free" or self defrosting fridge eh? Guess what? It can still freeze over. It's actually pretty clever how they work, but most people don't even care to know. Well, I needed to know since lately I have been waking up to  finding standing water in my fridge. You see these things have defrost cycles that melt off any accumulated ice, some times things go awry....let's look into things...

That doesn't look so bad right? Let's pull up the bottom here and see what lies beneath.

Ice!!! Ice ahoy! A damn meat tenderizer mallet fixed that up right quick. But you see that aluminum in the back? That part of a drainage system. It clearly was backed up.

See that standing water? It's still frozen in this spout. It is supposed to drain sown into an evaporation plate that simply burns off the defrosted water collected in the freezer compartment. Anyway, I poured several rounds of hot water down the thing and snaked it with a long zip tie...eventually it was draining like a champ. Damn thing has been dicked.
