Is this forum very active? It seems like there are few replies? Are there any better forums for kitchen aid repairs?

Hi everyone.
This is a Kitchenaid KRFF507ESS about 4 years old now.
I noticed frost had built up on bottom of the drawer of the freezer. Assumed this was a frozen evaporator drain so I took the freezer drawer off and got to the back of the freezer. There wasn't a lot of ice, but I defrosted it and it still wasn't draining. Went around to the back and removed the p-trap drain pipe from the evaporator pain.
When I tried to flush it with water, it was obviously blocked. Eventually all this rust 'sand' came out. I think this had settled in the p-trap. The evaporator pan also was 'stained' with rust color.
I put it back together and its working again.
Two questions a) Should i get a new p-trap as I imagine I haven't completely cleaned out the old one of rust debris b) Where would this rust 'sand' come from -- is this a sign of a bigger problem or 'normal'
Thanks! Mike
