Blocked Drains Edinburgh

As a homeowner in East Lothian, you understand the importance of maintaining your appliances to ensure they run efficiently and effectively. One often-overlooked area is the drain hole at the back of your fridge. At Blocked Drains Edinburgh, our team of experienced tradespeople have years of experience in providing top-notch services to clients across Edinburgh and the surrounding areas, including East Lothian.

The drain hole at the back of your fridge is designed to collect water that accumulates from the defrosting process. If not cleaned regularly, this hole can become clogged with debris, causing water to leak onto the floor and potentially leading to costly repairs. By cleaning the drain hole, you can prevent these issues and ensure your fridge continues to run smoothly.

1. Unplug your fridge: Before you start, make sure to unplug your fridge to avoid any accidents or electrical shocks.
2. Locate the drain hole: The drain hole is usually located at the bottom of the fridge, near the back. You may need to refer to your user manual or manufacturer's instructions to find it.
3. Remove any visible debris: Use a soft brush or cloth to remove any visible debris or dust from the drain hole.
4. Use a cleaning solution: Mix a solution of equal parts water and white vinegar in a bowl. Dip a soft cloth into the solution and wring it out thoroughly. Insert the cloth into the drain hole and gently scrub away any remaining debris.
5. Rinse with warm water: Use a clean cloth to rinse the drain hole with warm water. Make sure to remove any remaining cleaning solution.
6. Dry the area: Use a dry cloth to wipe down the area around the drain hole to prevent any water spots.
