Fridge thingy blocked - Help please

[Wendyjayb]

We have a fairly new fridge freezer and the last few weeks whenever i look at the bottom it's swimming in water.
It looked like the little channel thing was blocked so i cleaned it all out, but it's still doing it
Any ideas how i can unblock it

Poke a stick of spaghetti down it

(MN tip, worked for me)

Wow never thought if that, Thanks

If it is new you should haev a special little plastic thing especially design for this job, although sphaghetti soons a fab substitute.

You need a cable tie. The broddler that comes with the fridge isn't long enough to do the job properly, thats why you get the water. A cable tie broddles beautifully!

broddler! new word!

Well i now know what i'm doing when i get in from work

I remember doing it, inserting the spag (didn't imagine for a minute it would actually work): there was a moment of resistance and then something sort of went 'pop', and all the water drained away. bliss.

hoping it's just as pleasurable for you

I always use a straw.... never thought of using spagetti...

My fridge blocks up like this, if the poker thingy that was supplied with the fridge doesn't clear it I spray some Mr Muscle Kitchen Cleaner down the hole and keep prodding. Seems to disolve the gunge....
