My Zanussi ZRB32213WA is pooling water at the bottom of the fridge compartment. So far I have:
  • Left the unit turned off to defrost.
  • Stuck a 30cm zip tie down the drain hole and jiggled.
  • Blew air down the drain hole through some tubing.
  • Put bicarb soda and vinegar down the drain hole.
  • Checked the drain tray at the back to find it completely dry.
  • Used a Pela pump down the drain hole and tried to aspirate.
Any other tips to try?

I was considering removing the tubing from the back of the fridge to investigate, but the back panel is covered with, what seems to be, a corrugated plastic panel. Is this easy to remove?

this suggests that drain water is not going down the pipe. Is the gutter correctly fitted to the pipe? Is there a pea in the gutter spigot?

Can you blow up the pipe from the evaporation dish end?

I used a spirit level to check and it is level.
How do I check if the gutter is correctly fitted to the pipe?
I can't seem to put a pipe or anything in from the evaporating dish end as there seems to be bend or something a few cm above.
From the top end, the pipe seems to be clear as I managed to put a drain unclogger tool thing down it for about half a metre.
