Whirlpool refrigerator drain tube freezing. I had water dripping from the freezer into the refrigerator compartment. I consistently every month have to take everything out of the freezer to thaw out that area and tube only to have it freeze up again. Whirlpool refrigerator defrost drain clogged. Drain heaters prevent the water in the drain pan from re freezing and clogging the defrost drain.

The motion for preliminary approval of the settlement explains that whirlpool in late 2009 and early 2010 began selling combination refrigerator freezers with newly designed freezer drain tubes that allowed the company to produce a cost reduced machine compartment the new tubes were designed to channel defrosted water from the bottom. If your drain heater is defective or is not in the proper position the defrost drain might freeze over.
