Jim Alexander April 24, 2021 for Model Number FFSS2614QP6A Mice got under my frig and chewed up the drain hose, drain pan and wires to the condenser motor. I realize that the drain hose goes to the drain pan, but where does the other end of the hose connect to and how to I access that area? Other than the hose, do I need any connecters, adapters etc? A friend told me that some "plastic" parts are being made of plant products rather than oil based as an environmental thing. Any truth to this? Will varmints be eating up our appliance parts now?
1 Answer Jim A, The drain is also plastic and sticks down into the machine compartment through the cabinet. If that part of it has been destroyed then there is no access to it as the cabinet is foam-filled insulation. Read More...
Steve January 17, 2021 for Model Number Frs26kf6em3 How is drain hose attached to the pan. Mine is just laying on the floor
1 Answer Steve, Your hose should be in the drain pan but not attached to it. It attaches to the ceiling of the compressor area and sits in the drain pan. If it is laying in the floor then one side attaches to a nipple that comes from the freezer to the machine compartment. Read More...
John November 25, 2019 for Model Number LFUS2613LF0 I'm getting a nasty dark substance draining from somewhere across the front of my refrigerator so I'm assuming the drain line from the freezer section might be clogged. Is the end that empties into the drip pan accessible from the bottom front so I can run something through it?
1 Answer John, Yes, you can access the back and there will be a tube sticking out of the top of the machine compartment for the defrost drain. Read More...
Rachel December 12, 2017 for Model Number FRS6HR45KS2 I need to replace my drain pan. I ordered part#241697602 but I am confused if i lift the unit to the back or to the right as I have seen both in answers. Do I need to remove the back cardboard or just the front kick piece and then remove 1 screw? Thank you.
1 Answer Rachel, You've got the right idea and procedure. You'll probably want to remove both the compartment cover in back and the front kick plate for accessing everything easier. Regardless of the position (front or side), make sure you "block" up the refrigerator, before you start reaching around under the machine. Have a towel handy to wipe up any defrost water that might spill. There's more than 1(one) screw holding the drip pan to the bottom of the refrigerator. Read More...
Lee June 02, 2017 for Model Number FFTR18210QW1 When the freezer defrosts there is a drip onto top shelf of refrigerator. This model has an upper freezer, thus the defrost unit and light to low refrigerator are all in one piece/part. In order to removed the defrost/lite unit there is a 2-3 inch hole with an odd shaped screw. That screw is difficult to access or see and requires a special tool! Help! What kind of tool is needed in order to fix the leak? Thanks. Lee
1 Answer Lee, The screws that retain the control panel to the refrigerator ceiling should be a 1/4" hex head screw 5304455650 and wouldn't need a "special" tool. You may want to use a mirror or remove the shelves to see and access the screws. Once you have access dont forget to flush the drain tube in the wall with hot water and a turkey baster. Read More...
Kerry February 11, 2017 for Model Number FRS26RLECSR Drain Pan hanging loose in front, dumping water. How is it secured to the front?
1 Answer Kerry, There should be screws in the front of the drain pan that would hold the front to the underside of the unit. Read More...
Tad January 25, 2017 for Model Number Lfht2117lwa Why am I leaking water on my top shelf of my refrigerator? And how do I remove the drip pan under the fridge? My refrigerator is a Frigidaire.
1 Answer Tad, The drip pan under the refrigerator does not need to be removed. It is bolted to the bottom of the unit. As for the water on the top shelf and under the crisper drawers you will want to remove the housing for the controls in the refrigerator compartment and will want to clean out the cup that is on the back of the housing as the port for the drain will be clogged and causing leaking issue.

Julie C. December 12, 2016 for Model Number GLGC36S8ASB How do you remove the drip pan and replace the tube to burner on cooktop without breaking the striker?
1 Answer Hello Julie, You will need to remove both gas and power to the unit before beginning. You will then need to remove all burner bases, (two screws), so the main top can be raised. This will provide access to the tubes for replacement. Read More...
