Update: I fixed a weird fridge noise by cleaning the drain tube with a turkey baster

Had a call for a Samsung fridge making a loud gurgle every 20 minutes, and the customer in Tempe was ready to replace the whole thing. I pulled the back panel, saw the drain tube was clogged, and shot hot water through it with a clean turkey baster from my truck instead of taking the whole thing apart. Who else has a weird tool or trick they use for drain clogs that saves a ton of time?

Turkey basters are the duct tape of the appliance repair world.

My uncle's a repair tech and he swears by a good set of vacuum caps for jury rigging.
