LEC fridge freezer query

[sherbetvickster]

Hi there,

I have a LEC ET450BW fridge freezer. I moved it forwards in order to paint the wall behind, and the plastic pipe on the back that goes into a drip tray thing has come off.

I can’t quite get to the part where it just pushes back on, as this is behind a grille.
Is there an easy way for me to get the pipe back on (ie is it ok to take the grille off?) or should I play safe and call an engineer out. The exact same thing happened about 4 yrs ago when I moved it to decorate, and as it was under warranty I called an engineer out and it was done free of charge. If I called someone out to do this now, how much would I have to pay?
Thanks, sherbetvickster

Remove the screws from the grill and with the help of someone GENTLY
bend it back to 45 degress. You then have enough room to replace the drain hose onto its fitting. Zip tie (cable tie or similar) the hose on its fitting and then GENTLY bend the grill back and re-screw. Jobs done.
