The Drain Tube is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. It is responsible for directing defrost water to the drain pan located beneath the appliance, where it can evaporate safely.  Causes of a bad drain tube can include blockages from debris or ice, physical damage such as cracks or splits that allow water leakage, or a disconnection from its fitting points due to improper installation or material fatigue. Symptoms of a bad Drain Tube include: Water pooling at the bottom of the refrigerator compartment Ice accumulation in or around the freezer area Leakage of water onto the kitchen floor beneath the refrigerator This OEM GE part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.WR02X11426 (AP3422042) replaces 963981, AH758523, EA758523, PS758523, WR02X10661, WR02X12058, WR2X10661, WR2X11426.
