Abstract: A drain extension assembly for an appliance that provides fluid communication between an internal storage compartment and an exterior environment via an appliance drain that collects and transfers liquid condensate from an evaporator. The drain extension assembly includes a main body with an inlet and an outlet. The inlet is configured to be secured to the appliance drain and the outlet is configured to be secured to an extension tube discharges the liquid condensate into a drain pan. A vacuum relief system provides selective fluid communication between the main body and the exterior environment. The vacuum relief system includes a pressure relief valve provided at a wall of the main body.

Abstract: A drain assembly for a refrigeration appliance in communication with an appliance drain. The drain collects condensate from an evaporator behind the rear wall of the cabinet and transfers the condensate to the drain assembly in the machine compartment of the refrigeration appliance. The drain assembly then transfers the condensate to an extension tube easily accessible to an operator. The drain assembly includes an inlet, a main body, and an outlet. The inlet is secured to the appliance drain and the outlet is secured to the extension tube. The main body also comprises a downward slope in between the inlet and the outlet. In one example, a vacuum relief system can equalize a pressure differential between an interior of the main body and an exterior environment.
