    For 5 years now I have been battling this freezer... every few WEEKS having to disassemble & thaw only to have water on the floor again a few weeks later. It was starting to ruin my cabinets, floors, and baseboards. I never knew about the rubber drain in the back until I saw this video and sure enough it was clogged with gunk. I was seriously about to drop $3k on a new fridge but now it's FIXED!! It's really FIXED!! Thanks so much!

    Thank you so much for your detailed video. Our Maytag model is quite a bit older, but your walk-through here helped us identify similar parts and clear up the clog and frozen drain overflow issue we suddenly started having. TRULY appreciate you sharing this; it was a real help in a time when we need our freezer to be functioning, and it's difficult to get and pay for a repairmen. You saved the day! Xo

    Thanks for this video. Bought this fridge off Facebook marketplace. The fridge was clean when I got it. Brought it home and water started pooling on my floor.. this video was the fix. The hairdryer idea is brilliant. Also, pouring hot water - not quite boiling, worked really well for thawing the drain to the back.

    I have the same refrigerator with the same drain/ice problem. Because of these videos I replaced the drain with a drain tube which has a bigger, more rounder tunnel for the water to flow. I bought it from Amazon called a (Drain tube kit) about $15. Now the wife is happy and so am I. Thanks for the video.

      I just cut the rubber end slightly wider so it doesn't get impinged again. It was free.

    • @dannybryant8296
      @dannybryant8296 11 дней назад

      Yes! If the tube is accessible from the bottom rear then there's really no need to disassemble the stuff in the front. Might need some defrost time but why do all the extra work?

    Hey thank you so much! We had this problem with our Maytag refrigerator that's four years old. We followed these directions and were able to fix it ourselves. Our drain pipe was different, but it was blocked by crud, just like yours! The fix took us about 5 hours, but we stopped several times to rewatch the video and took a couple of short breaks. We can't thank you enough!

  • @pg5796

    This is by FAR the most helpful video that I have seen! The lighting you used gave clear, bright pictures so it was easy to find things on MY refrigerator. My husband just had surgery, so it was basically up to me to deal with it. Being kinda handy, I thought that I'd google "Remedy for Ice On Floor of Whirlpool Freezer" and your video came up! After watching it twice, I told my hubby, "I got this". He half-heartedly believed me, knowing full well that we'd be contacting a repairman by sundown. 😉. Turns out, I followed your video every step of the way and I DID IT and ALL BY MYSELF!!!!! 😄. Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge with people like me, it saved us a lot of money and it even put a little spring in my step! Thank you!

    @pusher7 4 года назад +3

    Thank you so much! Thank you for your great video! This has been a big help! Thanks to your video this problem, that has persisted for well over a year, has been fixed!!! Not only was the molded catch tray completely iced over with about half an inch of ice, and down into the drain funnel, but the sheet metal shroud along the bottom was down into that tray, right to the floor of it. And since metal gets very cold, I'm sure the water would freeze before it could reach the drain hole. The ice was so thick, that at first I couldn't see the drain hole at all. No more towel rolled up in front of the fridge! Yay!!!! And to think I was going to buy a new fridge.

    • @pg5796
      @pg5796 4 года назад +2

      The same thing happened to me! I carefully melted the ice by pouring a little bit of hot water over one end of the ice, melted it enough to carefully get a plastic spatula underneath it and it popped up in one HUGE sheet! 😳. I thought that it was "fixed".....until it happened two more times. Only after watching this video did I even REALIZE that there was a drain hole underneath the thick layer of ice underneath the coils! I am soooo thankful for the gentleman (and his "boss") that took the time to make this extremely helpful video!!

  • @mssn3166
    @mssn3166 Год назад +1

    Cleaning that bottom freezer is a lot of work for the many screws and items to remove. On top of that, it forces the person to bend down to see that little room way under for repair and cleaning. It's not convenient placement, it's better on top. You did a great job!

    • @cynthia1088
      @cynthia1088 9 месяцев назад

      It's not easy, I just put a large cookie pan at the bottom of my freezer and took a hammer to the ice, I can get my arm in enough to rake out most of the ice into the pan and used the hammer for a little more reach on both side of mine...they should make it easier to disassemble the drawers and stuff, but I never did take mine apart...mine would freeze up like this about every 1-2 months...so it definitely got old beating that ice out, we replaced the parts...now to see if it works

  • @cantoyac
    @cantoyac 2 года назад

    Thanks! I had a repairman come fix the leak; but, he didn't reinstall the top drawer properly. It was moving side to side. The reinstall at about the 8:54 mark showed what the the seated drawer roller assembly should look like. Went to my freezer and we saw the problem and snapped it in place properly! Cheers!

    I don’t normally leave comments but thank you for this video. We were wanting to get new floors but my fridge leaks like the one in this video so we wanted to get it fixed before we get the new floors. I looked and sure enough the drain was frozen and dirt and dust was in that rubber nozzle. I made the repair and we can get new floors now. One mistake I did make was I left the hair dryer in one spot too long and it bubbled a small spot on the surface.

  • @markalexander3342
    @markalexander3342 5 лет назад +4

  • @artvandelay8090
    @artvandelay8090 Год назад

    Hey, thanks, youse two. I needed to make this fix on my fridge and it went pretty much like yours did. I used a blow-dryer to melt the ice around the drain on the inside, and then poured warm water through to melt the rest. Once that ice was melted, the water came flowing through like a river. I put a new drain tube in, but I didn't really need to, the previous one had a bunch of gunk in it that I was able to blow out and clear. I guess I have a spare now. Thanks for your help - this video helped a lot.

  • @gronblom
    @gronblom Месяц назад

    Thank you SO VERY MUCH! Your video was great; Detailed and informative! My rubber nipple on the end of the drain also had a piece of lint very similar to yours and no other dirt or gunk to speak of. Could that have been placed in there intentionally to slow down the flow into the funnel/trough? I removed mine the same as you did to prevent it from causing any backlog of water to freeze up in the pipe. I found that about an hour of natural thawing combined with a cup of really not (not boiling) tap water flushed the ice out in no time! I used a couple more (one at a time) cups of hot water to ensure the ice was completely cleared out once it was draining and then shop-vac'd out the water from the drip tray to keep if from having to evaporate all that water.
    Thanks again! This was crucial to my getting it done, as I had asked around and nobody else mentioned opening the back to see what was going on and access the tail end of the drain! LOVE the video!

    Do the same on my parents 46 year old Sears Coldspot fridge. That thing is built like a tank just like our Kenmore dryer from 1969- still running!
    Fridge needed a new defrost heater rod.
    Recommend while you have the unit open to oil the fan shafts in the freezer rear and in the back where they enter the bearings. Will keep them running for years and make the manufacturers frown 😀

  • @keithwollaver2307
    @keithwollaver2307 4 года назад

    Nice comprehensive instructional video. I just finished the job and I enjoyed it! The most time consuming part of the job was melting the ice build up from the rear panel prior to removal, and more from the condensing coils and from the bottom of the freezer. I will know if there is more to it over the next few days, but so far it looks like the problem has melted away. Thank you.

    • @randyh3761
      @randyh3761 2 года назад

      Turned out the rubber nipple was... mold-oozed shut? I guess that's what caused the line to freeze up. It was really frozen, I had it open and defrosting all day and it still was the last thing to thaw. Finally I took it all apart like you and dumped hot water in the back.

      This is not the first time i've been accused of saving a marriage. Its true that if the back is cleared out (the pipe) and yo can allow the system to completely defrost you can forgo the removal of the inner back panel. Thats if you have a place to keep all of the food for several hours.

      Without the nozzle colder denser air can escape out. It should be there, just inspected regularly

    Am I Wrong to say that you needn't have done Any disassembly of the interior of the fridge? Another video showed ALL the work in the back with the black drainage plug with a cleanup of that plug. That will be what I Will try first. But Thanks for your experience.

      If the water backs up to the coils the whole rear section ices over, it could take several hours to thaw. I suppose if you have a second fridge to store all of you food and freezer goods and can afford the down time you could forego going in the front to melt the massive ice accumulation. If not, well, then you aren't getting through that from the back.

      That should make it so you dont have to do this again. Original design is flawed. Once clogged and iced, no turning back. You have to defrost.

    They have a fix for this problem. it is not normal for this to happen. It is, in my opinion, a defect in design. The whirlpool people agree and they offer the fix. It replaces the rubber nipple and the funnel with a "U" style drain that creates a water block so warm air can not enter the freezer.
