Possible Causes
Blocked defrost drain, Cracked drain tube, Excessive condensation from door left open, Ice blocking drain channel
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the freezer and mop up any water to prevent slipping.
Steps:
- Remove internal drawers and inspect the rear floor area for an ice block or water around the drain hole.
- Clear the drain hole using a soft plastic probe or pipe cleaner; do not use sharp metal tools.
- Pour a small amount of warm water into the drain to confirm it flows to the rear drain tray above the compressor.
- At the rear, inspect the drain tube for kinks or disconnection; reseat or replace if cracked.
- Ensure the door is not being left ajar, which can cause excessive frost and water.
