If there’s one thing that bothers me, it’s that the drain in my fridge is clogged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You already know it? The one who’s behind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There’s always a piece of lettuce and more dirt on it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Not only does this cause mold to form, but it also causes water to build up everywhere in the fridge…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But also towards the outside world if you don’t do anything to solve it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Luckily, technician Darty explained to me how to unclog and clean the refrigerator drain hole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It’s easy with this simple tutorial. Look at that:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How it goes<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Result<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And you can easily unblock the refrigerator drain opening<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fast, practical and effective, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Water no longer flows due to a blocked drain!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It’s a very simple trick. You just have to think about it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cleaning the refrigerator drain is really easy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And it helps to empty the fridge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The water is now flowing normally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
No more flooding under the dresser and no more mold!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And have you noticed? This way you also eliminate bad smells.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What item should you use to clean refrigerator drain?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The best way to clean your refrigerator drain is to use a special tool called a spargetti.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can find it here and it also works for the freezer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But as we just saw, you can also use a simple cotton swab if you don’t have one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And it also works with a plastic straw, a small bottle brush, a flexible steel wire or a self-locking cable tie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How do I avoid clogging?
It’s best not to clog the famous hole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To do this, simply do not put any food at the back of the refrigerator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For example, lettuce, carrots or other vegetables should not touch the back wall of the refrigerator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This keeps dirt and plants away from the hole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is also the reason why some shelves have a small edge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This eliminates the temptation to spend all the way to the end!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Also remember to clean your refrigerator regularly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is a great way to remove any dirt that may have been lost in the hole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It’s best to do a major cleaning every three months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Why does it work?
White vinegar cleans and disinfects the edges of the hole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It also removes traces of mold that have formed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The soft rod can be used to remove stuck-on dirt from the hole. Serves as a drain cleaner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And the spilled water helps flush them out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This opening allows access to the waste tank above the refrigerator compressor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is therefore important that it is well clogged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Otherwise, the water will collect and drip onto the kitchen floor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Attention: Do not use bleach!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And you should know that this trick works on all brands of refrigerators:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bosch, Whirlpool, Samsung, Liebherr, but also for American refrigerators or built-in refrigerators.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
