Home & Kitchen Refrigerator Drain Tube Parts

A refrigerator drain tube is an essential part of the defrost system, responsible for channeling water from the evaporator to the drain pan, preventing water buildup inside the appliance. Along with this, the drain pipe, drain valve, and defrost drain.

The refrigerator water drain tube plays a direct role in allowing melted ice and condensation to exit the unit efficiently, while a fridge drain hose connects the internal drain to the exterior drain pan. These parts are designed to ensure continuous water movement during defrosting, preventing overflow and maintaining cooling efficiency. Without them, refrigerators and freezers can experience water leakage, frost buildup, and reduced performance, making them critical for both household and commercial units.
