Is the freezer drain hole shown by the arrow on the attached picture please:

If so, it seems so blocked that I may need to use a drill. A wire coat hanger will not push through.

Thank you

Here is the picture (I have tried 3 methods to attach picture) -->

The diagram did show the drain hole which was blocked. There was ice, not visible, UNDERNEATH the drip collection tray and its hole (as arrowed).

This space was about 0.5mm but the hole was also frozen. I poured half an egg cup of warm water on the hole, then using a thing plastic tube, syphoned a bowl full of hot water around and eventually down the hole whilst jabbing it with a plastic straw.

The wire coat hanger or the pipe cleaner would not clear the hole because:

(1) the hole was frozen, but this was no visible, and

(2) is it NOT a vertical line between the drain hole (in the freezer) and the outlet hole (which connects to the tube filling the drain tray atop the compressor). There is a small chamber not shown on the Bosch / Tradeplace diagram which would require me to have zig-zagged (if you know what I mean) a bendy-coat hanger.
