Title: Plugged condensate drain.
Post by: Moby on June 24, 2019, 05:31:09 pm
 The drain line of the condensate collection pan under the refrigerator fins froze/plugged up.  I'm thinking pig clearing it out with a length of 14ga primary wire as a snake.
 I found the outside end of the line with no issues but noticed there is a black (what looks like) plug on the end of it.  The collection pan has a small amount of water in it.
 Any issues if I pull that plug.?

The plug is to allow water out, but to restrict hot/humid air from going up.  You may be able to temporarily remove it (at least on some designs it is a separate plastic piece.  But, on others it is a "pinched" part of the hose itself.

I would defrost and blow into it to clean it out.

 I saw no outlet to let it drain.
Are you saying NOT to snake it?
  Strange that it froze so fast as I only started it up Friday.

Open the refrigerator outside access door and look in/up.
