Mend Whirlpool ET22DK/ET22DM Refrigerator Freezer Drain

How can I stop the leaking inside refridgerator?

I have leaking inside my refrigerator. I'm not sure if it is from my freezer. It is a Whirlpool Designer Style Model #ET22DK & ET22DM. I have read about cleaning some hole in the back inside of fridge, but I can't seem to find it. Does anyone know where I might find access to the drain hole?

For the Whirlpool ET22DK, pull the fridge out and look at the back. Look for the black rubber plug about halfway between the top and bottom of the unit, in the center, with a plastic tube going down to the bottom of the unit. That's the drain line. You can disconnect it from the black rubber plug, and check the drain line to make sure it is unobstructed. If it is blocked, replace it.
Also, every 3 months or so, pull the drip tray out from under the unit. To do that, pull the black grill off the front (located under the refrigerator comparment door). On the left, about 6 or 8 inches in, there's a plastic tray. Lift up a bit, and pull toward you. Clean it, and reinstall it. Chances are you will also have a lot of dust built up under the unit, especially on the cooling coils. Use a vacuum cleaner to get as much of the dust out as you can. A little maintenance once or twice a year will help to keep your refrigerator running right for many years.

the drain hole you are looking for is actually in the very back of your freezer you will need a srew driver to take apart several plastic pieces to get to the drain hole. Then use hot water and a metal coathanger to clear the hole.This works for a while but for some reason the hole keeps on clogging with ice and i don't know why!

it should be at the bottom of the fridge and it drains onto the top of the compressor have a good look round inside and if you still can't find it try looking for the plastic tube at the back of the fridge
