I have a refridgerator that the drain hole was plugged with Ice 6 months ago and got it opened up got all the ice melted and it ran to the drain fine. I leveled the refridgerator and made sure if water hit the metal tray going into the drain that it would drain the water to the tray at the bottom of the fridge. Put everything back together and it has worked fine. Now it is plugged up again. What can i do to keep the water from freezing up in the drain hole?

I would wrap a 12 gauge copper wire around the defrost heater and shove a 2 inch section down the drain. Also, check the freezer temperature, may be too low.

If a calrod, (metal) heater it's easy to do, glass heater harder. I just wrap one turn, usually sufficient.
