I am wondering what solution is best to use to get it out. I have it standing on end draining after spraying it down with greased lightning but hoping to completely remove it all....

Have an entire used kitchen setup in the shop! Speaking of shop appliances I messed up when I built my new shop.. I gave away my old reliable fridge{with all the old,cool speed parts stickers on it} and 10 years later it's still going strong in my buddies garage... ...It's soon time for the kitchen remodel and I'll probably snag the "old" appliances and move them to shop for the festivities..

Some shops still do Hot Tanking, acid chemical solvent, but many shops have had to convert to more environmentally friendly alternatives.
