This defrost drain adapter funnels melted defrost water from the evaporator area into the refrigerator's drain channel, helping prevent water pooling and evaporator-area leaks. A simple replacement to restore proper drain flow. What it does:
- Directs defrost meltwater into the cabinet drain to prevent pooling under the evaporator.
- Helps stop water from leaking into the refrigerator or freezer compartment.
- Can reduce odor and residue caused by standing water in the drain area.
- Fits the drain/chest drain opening and mates to the cabinet drain tubing.
What's included: One defrost drain adapter. Install notes:
- Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair.
- Access typically requires removing interior panels or the evaporator cover—keep screws and fasteners organized.
- Clean the drain channel and line of any ice or debris before installing the adapter to ensure proper flow.
- Reconnect power and test by pouring a small amount of warm water into the evaporator area to ensure the drain is routing properly.
