A fridge in Phoenix taught me to check the drain line first

I was on a call for a fridge not cooling right. The owner said it just started yesterday. I pulled it out and saw water under it. The drain line was totally blocked with gunk. I cleared it with a pipe cleaner and the fridge went back to normal in an hour. Anyone else find that's the fix half the time?

It's crazy how often that's the culprit. A quick check can save a whole service call (and a lot of money).

Read an article last year that said something like 30% of appliance repair calls are for things that are just unplugged or tripped at the wall. People forget about power strips or a kid might bump the plug. It's wild how often the fix is literally free.
