Where is defrost drain on ge bottom freezer refrigerator

Cause 1

Clogged or Freezing Defrost Drain

If the defrost drain is frozen, the water will overflow the drain trough and drip down to the bottom of the compartment. This water can eventually leak onto the floor. Check the defrost drain to determine if it is clogged or frozen. If the defrost drain is frozen, thaw the ice. In addition, flush the drain with hot water to ensure that it is clear of debris.

Cause 2

Water Inlet Valve

The water inlet valve opens to supply water to the dispenser and icemaker. If the water inlet valve is cracked or has a loose fitting, water will leak from the valve. Inspect the water inlet valve for cracks, and make sure that it is tightly secured to the water supply line.

Hi,

Here’s a link to the freezer parts for the refrigerator.

Find part #473 and you will see the hole in the centre of the part. This is the drain hole. The part is located below the evaporator unit.

If you go to the Machine Compartment diagram, part # 993 & 994 you will find the drain tubes for both the refrigerator and freezer evaporator units where they drain into the evaporator pan under the fridge.
