Here are the steps you can take to flush the drainage line in your Whirlpool ET1CHEXVB refrigerator:

1. Turn off the power to your refrigerator by unplugging it from the electrical outlet or turning off the circuit breaker that powers it.

2. Locate the drainage line, which is typically a small plastic or metal tube that runs from the inside of the refrigerator to a drain pan or tray located underneath or behind the refrigerator. It is usually located at the back of the fridge.

3. Use a turkey baster or syringe to squirt hot water or a mixture of one part vinegar to one part water into the drainage line. This will help to clear any blockages in the line.

Hope this helps!!
