Fridge Drain Plug

Turns out mine has broken apart. I read awhile back that it should be in there. So I took my old one to get some measurements off of it. Got it drawn up in my Cad program. Sent it to my 3D printer for a test run. Looks good. Measurements look good. I'll swing by the trailer in a couple days to test fit it up. Should work fine. But will see in a couple days. Here's a couple pics. Going to work on a holder for my remote next. Little things.

That is a good idea. Since I don't have the resources that you do, I went to Home Depot and bought a brass plumbing plug that fit snugly into the tube and then drilled a small hole in it for drainage. That has been working well for over a year now.

I do the same, but use plastic.

I've found the clear/white drain tubes disintegrate in the sun. Just replaced it with a piece of black I had laying around and it seems to last. Anyone reroute it out to under the trailer instead of through the access door?

I normally pull the fridge ahead far enough to get to the attachment point and use tubing from Lowes.
