You may find puddles at the bottom of the fridge compartment or under the salad crisper drawers.
To prevent future clogs, a common modification is utilized by technicians and homeowners alike: the "drain heat trap." This involves wrapping a piece of thick copper wire around the defrost heater element and extending the other end down into the drain hole. During the defrost cycle, heat is conducted directly down the wire into the drain hole, preventing water from refreezing inside the opening.
