Without a refrigerator, life becomes a nightmare. It is the refrigerator door that opens most often in the house. Even pets have a feeling of affection for this appliance. If the refrigerator stops working for some reason, then life in the house seems to stop. The solution to this problem is urgent; it must be solved immediately. If your Frigidaire refrigerator doesn’t get cold enough, first check the temperature to make sure it’s set correctly. Next step is to check that the coils are not dirty, otherwise they won’t be able to cool the refrigerant sufficiently and the internal temperature can rise. There is a necessity to check a drain line. In case it is blocked, you will need to unclog it. Disconnect the refrigerator from electric power and leave it unplugged. You can also activate and run the refrigerator’s defrost cycle. Melt the ice in the drain line by using hot water if defrosting it manually is too long a process. You can use a hair dryer or a heat gun. However, this method is not so safe. When all the ice dissolves, determine whether or not the drain line has debris in it. If it does, clear it using a stiff wire. Straighten it and push the debris out of the line with it. Run hot water down the line as you do this until the water runs clear and free. Clean the drain pan and disinfect both the line and the pan. To do this, mix a teaspoon of recommended baking soda into two cups of hot water and pour the mixture into the line with the baster. Pour some into the pan under the unit, too. Don’t stop until both parts are clean. If you are going to keep the drain line from clogging regularly, clean the refrigerator often to remove food crumbs. And fix the defrost system, especially if the cooling coils are frozen. Additionally, increase the temperature on the freezer a little as low temperatures cause quick and easy freezing. If you have no intention to try out a DIY method, give us a call to clog the drain line without problems!
