Product review (5 stars): Eliminate water leaking into your floor with this simple kit!
If you have a whirlpool French door refrigerator that's leaking water onto the floor every couple weeks you will want to install this kit.  The problem is that the factory drain kit gets gunked up and cannot drain the water created when the unit automatically goes through its defrost cycle.  This kit eliminates the self closing valve and replaces it with an open "P-trap" style drain (the kind used in every sink and toilet drain in your house).

It's simple to install and doesn't require any specialized tools, just a flat screwdriver and a 1/4" socket or nut driver.  You do have to keep in mind that if you're installing this kit because of the ice buildup issue you will have to clear out all the existing ice in order for the freezer to begin draining properly. Follow the included instructions or watch a YouTube how-to video to replace the drain kit before moving on to the next step.

After the drain is replaced you need to remove all the existing ice buildup, this is a simple process but you will have to disassemble the freezer to accomplish it.  Don't let that intimidate you, if you're not the most mechanically savvy person there are plenty of how-to videos on YouTube that can walk you through step by step. The disassembly involves removing the freezer door, drawer and rack system, followed by the rear cover panel so you can access the drain hole.  USE CAUTION WHEN WORKING AROUND THE FREEZER TUBE (Be aware that all the metal parts are razor sharp as well) if you puncture/damage the tubes you're looking at either a very expensive repair or a new unit all together. Simply take your time and employ a hair drier on the hottest setting to melt the ice build up.  You can speed the process up by carefully chipping out the big stuff with the flat screwdriver (only under the metal tray where the main drain hole is located). Otherwise just plan on getting comfortable while you melt the ice.  After all the ice is melted, use a turkey baster with hot water to ensure the drain is completely clear of ice and that the water flows through freely. This will also fill the P-trap with water so warm air can't flow back into the freezer.

After all the ice is melted you can reassemble the freezer and load it back up!
