Freezer leaking water onto floor at front or under unit

Safety first: Unplug the freezer before working inside or underneath. Water on the floor can be slippery—wipe up spills promptly.

Steps:

• Locate source: Check if water is coming from inside the freezer (front) or from the rear drain pan.
• Clear internal drain: Remove the interior rear panel and locate the drain hole beneath the evaporator. Pour warm (not boiling) water into the hole using a turkey baster or squeeze bottle until it flows freely into the drain pan.
• Check drain tube: From the rear, locate the rubber drain tube leading to the pan. Remove and flush it with warm water to clear debris.
• Inspect drain pan: Ensure the pan is not cracked and is properly positioned under the drain outlet.
• Prevent recurrence: Avoid leaving the door open for long periods, which can cause excessive frost and water.
