Bosch KGU3220gb/03

Can anyone help with this fault – appliance works o.k. but drain hole in freezer freezes solid – gully heater & defrost heatero.k – no bulid up of ice anywhere else – just drain hole – any suggestions?

check the drain tube at the back for a build up of ‘jelly/gunge’ . The drain tube gts a bacterial growth build up which prevents defrost water from draining and the standing water then freezes in the drain hole/freezer base.

thats the stuff !!! Its an orangey/opaque jelly like substance – I remove the drain tube , flush it out and clean with some bleach and then i wrap the clear tube in black electrical tape . Replacement hose’s are now black to block out light as it seems this might be a cause of the gungey build-up and tape is a cheaper/quicker option.
