Water leaking onto the floor from under or around the Danby freezer.

Safety first: Unplug the freezer and wipe up any water to avoid slipping and electrical hazards.

Steps to stop water leaks:

• Inspect drain pan: Pull the unit away from the wall and locate the plastic drain pan near the compressor. Check for cracks or misalignment. Replace the drain pan if damaged.
• Check defrost drain: Ensure the defrost drain tube is properly inserted into the pan and not clogged (see drain blockage steps above).
• Level the freezer: Use a level to check front-to-back and side-to-side. Adjust leveling feet so the unit is slightly tilted back to encourage door closure and proper drainage.
• Inspect door gasket: Look for gaps or tears that allow warm, moist air in, causing excess frost and water. Replace the door gasket if it does not seal.

Note: After corrections, monitor for a few days to confirm the leak is resolved.
