What's the best way to plug the drain on a Vino?/Edgestar?

bsmokin · 07-13-2010, 01:04 PM

I have an Edgestar 28 bottle Fridgador that I love. But I think it may have a slight leak... and I'm thinking it's the drain plug. I think i just have a piece paper towel shoved in the drain hole right now... far from perfect.

So, what are some of you using to fill this drain hole in your Fridgadors??

Thanks!

Covered both my vino drains with black duct tape

I've heard of people using pretty much anything. From tape to screws and now paper towels.

I would think tape would be sufficient, but in reality, having the opening is probably not a huge issue.

I haven't plugged mine and my RH stays pretty constant between 65-70.

Try some tape, electrical or duct should work just fine and see if you notice any differences.

Have you check out the Accessory Reviews section? It tends to have something in there. I believe someone did one up one time with pics

I use Electrical Putty and then re route the condensation to a bowl on the bottom of the Edgestar by one of those binder dividers.

There are many different ways to do this depends on how your fridge is setup I guess.

solder the hole shut then get some small screws and sheet metal to cover that up .

earnold25 · 07-13-2010, 02:57 PM

I used electrical putty as well.

Electrical putty is the best I ever found.

Black electrical tape.

Thanks guys... I'll probably try electrical tape, since I have that handy.... and see how that goes.
