Norcold drain tubes have a plastic check valve at the END at the drain cup. Just remove the check valve and clean it out. reinstall after cleaning. Doug
Sorry, saw you have done this. IF the tube is blocked, the ONLY way to fix is to pull the refer. Have you had the Cooling unit replaced? Did it drain previously, and the problem just started? I would take a Nylon string from a weedeater and work it up from the outside. Going from inside will not work as the tube makes a 90 degree bend just after it goes to the outside back of the refer hole. Now to your ICE and freezing. The temp setting has NOTHING to do with the freezer. Your freezer temp has NOTHING to do with the ICE in cup or evap fins. Refers, the FIN temp will be 10 degrees COLDER than the interior temp. So if your refer is operating at 36 degrees, the fin temp will be 26 degrees, hence the ice build up.
