    Usually clear it with a cocktail stick or the narrow end of a cable tie (or anything softish). Try pulling any debris out, rather than pushing it through if you can. But eventually just be sure that the hole is clear to drain away.

    okay will do, thanks for the tip. Have to admit I never recall my parents having to muck about with the fridge, maybe they did it when I wasn't there...

    I want your speakers btw.

    Can you recall sitting watching your mother cleaning the fridge? . . ha ha... Neither can I, not regarding the drain hole, anyway....

    LOL. . . many do...

    Geoff's idea of pipecleaner may work, but you'll maybe push the debris further down the drain tube.....okay if you're satisfied that it's completely clear to the end.

    No I don't ever recall the fridge being defrosted, cleaned, drained or anything. I recall my mother doing washing, ironing and hoovering up, but not cleaning the fridge. I think they only had 2 fridges in the 18 years I lived there. They had a new kitchen in about 1982 so the fridge changed once in almost two decades.

    The freezer is still going now and that dates from about 1976. Don't recall that ever being defrosted either.

    I once tried to clear the ice from my chest freezer by hacking at it with a chisel. Worked a treat - after a brief hissing sound the freezer defrosted itself
    I just dropped in, to see what condition my condition was in

    pull the fridge out from the wall - the drain pipe will exit in to a tray which sits on top of the compressor (heat from compressor is supposed to evaporate the fridge condensate and that tray can get disgusting).
    I have use a long wire and a spray cleaner from inside the fridge to clear the drain pipe on our fridge, it can be quite worrying what grows there

    Walking the dog this morning past a field of "pulled" onions (laying out to dry before collection?) - the smell immediately took me back to my youth and a brand of cheese and onion crisps called "Chipmunk" (I think), is it rose tinted spectacles or are modern crisps crap in comparison?

    We should have a thread on 'evocative smells'.

    Anybody remember the odour of Castrol R emanating from sportier motorbikes yonks ago?

    (never been too sure how long a yonk is )

    I used to be really into hot rod racing on quarter mile oval circuits. The smell of Castrol R was intoxicating.
