  • This is the essence of 'frost-free' fridges.
    Water vapour condenses on the internal back panel of the fridges and collects in the 'gutter' that drains out into the collector on top of the compressor.
    Gunk eventually grows in the hole/grommit and prevents egress.
    The 'frost-free' fridge then freezes up at the gutter.
    Modern fridges have shelves with upstands at the rear edge to prevent stored food/containers contacting the back panel to allow the condensed moisture free drainage.

  • Literally just cleaned the gunk from my drain hole today. With it blocked the condensation pools at the bottom of the fridge.

  • I use a water bladder pipe brush to clean the drainage hole. It's long and small enough to fit the hole and reach all the way down.
