Hotpoint F/Freezer. FFA60.

[iadom]

Don’t actually do fridge repairs other than the occasional stat here and there.

Was doing this old dears t/dryer this afternoon when she asked me to look at her f/freezer.

Water all over the base of the fridge compartment, obviously blocked drain outlet.

I used a large bag tie but was unable to clear the obstruction, had a look at the back and unlike the old Hotpoint machines the drain tube seems to be integral.
I did notice a small hairline crack on the lower back wall of the fridge compartment.

Is it possible to clear the drain tube or could it be frozen up?

Serial No: is 11100265.

Could be either Jim, sometimes the hose gets crushed during manufacture when the foam expands. I use one of the ‘kettle type’ steamers, if I can’t get it to flow from one end I try the other. Sofar its never let me down.

I use a steamer with a piece of pressure switch hose on the end and stick it up from the bottom (does that sound rude).
