Love you guys so much for posting. I thought I was the only person in America who didn't do it.
I had to pull the fridge out by myself. Grunt, sniff, snort. I was worried about my hardwood flooring but it rolled out (grudgingly) without causing damage. I unplugged it and crumpled into the small space behind it to work (boy, talk about trying to get back up onto my feet again).
Water is still collecting in the bottom under the veg drawers, so I guess I will pull the darn thing out again and work on that drain tubing that goes down the back. Also, I will take everything out of entire fridge and freezer and check for anything that could be blocking water from going into that drainage hose.
Oh, and I used my long skinny dryer brush on the coils under the front of fridge as vac attachment and hose wouldn't go far enough into the opening.
And, I hope the cleanie who used the dental mirror in the toilet didn't put it back in the medicine cabinet.

ok moved the fridge out and got to the coils which were not that dusty for some reason....there was a cupcake wrapper and a butter paper under there....I did the best I could with the shop vac but it needed skinnier crevace tool...I did not get the other regular vac to do it...but since I was down on ground I saw how dirty the outside was and cleaned with mean green cleaner the entire front, side seen when walking into room, and top of it well enough that it looks much better now and also the seals on door and freezer door at top of each.... so I tried the 2x4 under back to support it but that was too high so I added some plastic body putty smoothers which I found would fit inside the folded cardboard I had under there before to increase the significance of the height a bit and to firm it up some...I do think it is the best I can get it without customized wood piece to place on right rear corner where it wobbles a tad...but it is level right now and does not wobble unless you really push it a bit to make it do so.... I am done except the inside needs more cleaning still...when I moved I washed the glass shelves and wiped out bottom but never got to everything...got the door shelves thru the dishwasher too...but there is more to do and it seems it is all again every part as it could be better...including the freeze compartment.... hugs lucky    |

I did mine in April, the last time I cleaned the fridge. I'll probably vacuum again in September. That cool, back to school weather energizes me.
