Blocked Drains Lincoln

Are you experiencing issues with your fridge's defrost drain in Lincolnshire? A clogged defrost drain can cause water to accumulate at the bottom of your fridge, leading to unpleasant odors, reduced performance, and potentially even damage to your appliance. At Blocked Drains Lincoln, our team of expert technicians is here to guide you through the process of unblocking your defrost drain and provide you with tips on how to prevent future blockages.

A defrost drain is a small hole located at the back of your fridge, usually near the bottom. Its purpose is to drain excess water that accumulates during the defrost cycle. However, over time, this drain can become clogged with debris, food particles, and ice, causing water to back up into your fridge.

1. Locate the Defrost Drain: Check your fridge's manual or look for a small hole at the back of your appliance, usually near the bottom.
2. Remove Large Debris: Use a soft brush or a cloth to remove any large debris or food particles that may be blocking the drain.
3. Use a Defrost Drain Cleaning Tool: You can purchase a defrost drain cleaning tool or use a long, thin object like a wire coat hanger to insert into the drain and remove any blockages.
4. Run Hot Water: Pour hot water down the drain to help dissolve any ice or debris that may be causing the blockage.
5. Check and Clean the Drain: Once you've cleared the blockage, check the drain to ensure it's clean and free-flowing.

To prevent future blockages, make sure to:

• Regularly clean your fridge and defrost drain
• Check your defrost drain every 6-12 months
• Avoid overloading your fridge with food and drinks
• Keep your fridge at the correct temperature

If you're unable to unblock your defrost drain or if it's damaged, you may need to replace it. The cost of replacement parts can vary depending on the type and model of your fridge. On average, you can expect to pay between £20-£50 for a new defrost drain.
