One of the suggestions I read was to remove light assembly because there was a drain cup back there. I didn't find one. Another suggestion talked about drain plug behind frig. So I looked behind the frig and removed the black drain. It was clogged. However there was white plastic tubing up inside of the frig that was connected to the black plug. I took toothbrush to it and tried to clean the inside of it. I don't know where that plastic tubing is situated or how to get access to it. I tried seeing if I could pull it out but it didn't budge, so I just put black plug back into the hole where the white tubing was hoping that the tubing would fit back into the black plug. So my question is did I do the right thing or is there something else I need to do to resolve the problem? I only did this today so I don't know if the problem has been rectified. Appreciate your input....thanks.....damsel in distress.

Here are your parts

Take as look at the compartment Separator section.
I cannot tell if the funnel is at the top of the fresh food section or in the separator directly under the Trough Drain.

I think the black plug you refer to is the grommet.
Sounds like you should be OK.

If you click on a part's picture or description a new page will open, often with more info on that part.

What did the plug material look like. If it was black gunk then it is a good idea to flush the drain tube with a 10 to 20 percent bleach solution. This should kill the gunk growing in the tube so your clean out will last longer.
Just be sure to wear old clothes and be careful to not overfill the drip tray under the unit.

This is a good time to clean the condenser coils and condenser/compressor fan under the unit.
Also check/clean the vents in the front kick plate and rear cover.
