Patting myself on my back for fixing the fridge

[FlyingPenguin]

We have a mini fridge under the kitchen counter for beverages. It started leaking water a few days ago. I finally decided to pull it out and look at it. Sure enough, the drain pan was completely dry so I knew it had to be a clogged drain.

Took a while to figure out how to get to it. In retrospect it's actually easy, and I documented it with photos for next time. It didn't help that the cap on the end of the drain, meant to prevent the water from splashing and getting on the electrical components, was on so tight that there was just a thin gap for the water to trickle out, and it got crudded up easily. Someone at the factory pushed it in too far.

So cleaned it out, replaced it, with the cap allowing an 1/8" gap this time, and it should be good for a long time.

Yeah, could have called a repair man. Might have even still been under warranty after 4 years, but I knew it should be an easy job.

We just fixed out bathroom sink that would "gurgle" when water was draining. I got a thin flexible wire and I pulled some hair and other gunk. Now it runs great with no gurgling. With a bad back, I did not want to try and get underneath the sink to disconnect the rod to pull it out.

I have to clean the drain in my sinks regularly because I'm on well water and bacterial mats grow in the drains (no chlorine in the water).

I use this to help clean the bacterial growth if you want to look into it/try it out.
