240359601 - Genuine OEM Frigidaire Refrigerator Drain Tube

240359601 - Genuine OEM Frigidaire Refrigerator Drain Tube
The 240359601 Genuine OEM Frigidaire Refrigerator Drain Tube is an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) replacement part designed for compatible Frigidaire refrigerators. Frigidaire's official parts network identifies 240359601 as a genuine OEM “Tube-Drain, Lower” used in refrigerators.
This lower drain tube directs defrost water from the refrigerator's evaporator area toward the drain pan, helping prevent water from collecting inside the refrigerator or freezer compartment.
Appliance Kingdom supplies genuine OEM and quality appliance replacement parts to customers across Canada. The 240359601 is a suitable replacement when the original refrigerator drain tube is cracked, clogged, leaking, or otherwise damaged. Always verify your refrigerator's complete model number before ordering.
What Does the 240359601 Refrigerator Drain Tube Do?
The 240359601 is a lower refrigerator drain tube that channels water produced during the automatic defrost process away from the evaporator area and toward the drain pan.
A properly functioning drain tube helps the refrigerator manage defrost water correctly. If the tube becomes clogged, cracked, disconnected, or damaged, water may not drain as intended and can accumulate inside the refrigerator or freezer.
Using the correct OEM drain tube is important because the tube's shape, dimensions, connection points, and routing must match the refrigerator's design for proper drainage.
Common Symptoms of a Damaged or Clogged Refrigerator Drain Tube
A defective or obstructed 240359601 drain tube can be associated with:
-
Water leaking inside the refrigerator
-
Water collecting around the freezer or refrigerator compartment
-
Refrigerator or freezer not draining properly
-
Excessive frost or ice buildup
-
Water appearing where it should not after the defrost cycle
-
Recurring moisture or leakage problems
Reliable Parts describes the component as important for proper refrigerator drainage and preventing leaks, while Home Depot's appliance-parts listing identifies leaking water, failure to drain, frost buildup, and freezer defrost problems as possible repair symptoms.
Will Replacing 240359601 Fix My Refrigerator?
It can, if the drain tube is the source of the drainage problem.
For example, if the existing tube is cracked, clogged, or damaged and is preventing defrost water from reaching the drain pan correctly, replacing the tube can restore proper drainage.
However, water leaks and frost buildup can have several possible causes. Before replacing the part, inspect the drain tube and surrounding defrost-drain system to confirm that the tube is actually responsible for the problem.
