My LG refrigerator drain is clogged. How can I unclog it?

Unclogging a blocked defrost drain on an LG residential refrigerator involves a careful manual clearing procedure to restore proper water drainage. First, unplug your refrigerator from the wall outlet and remove all food items, shelves, and the lower freezer back access panel to expose the frozen drain trough beneath the evaporator coils. Second, use a hair dryer on a warm setting or squirt warm water using a turkey baster down the drain hole to melt any solid ice plug. Third, push a flexible pipe cleaner or a piece of stiff wire gently down the drain tube to sweep away trapped food particles. You can troubleshoot drainage flow easily. You can verify that your unclogging procedure was successful when pouring a small cup of warm water into the drain trough results in water flowing unimpeded into the bottom evaporation pan without pooling.
