Both the refrigerator and freezer seem to be working fine except when the freezer goes through a defrost cycle, the drain is apparently clogged. I've used a hair dryer to attempt to thaw the drain tube as well as used a small bottle brush to try and remove any obstruction. It still seems clogged as the melting frost gathers on the bottom of the freezer and seeps out under the freezer door. Is there a diagram that shows the drain system? Any ideas on how to unclog this drain?

Thanks,

The drain tube goes from the freezer into the drain pan in the back of the refrigerator. Very likely this end of the drain tube is clogged too. The best way to clean it is to blow some air through the drain tube from that end.

You also can use a turkey buster with hot water from inside the freezer.
