Freezer leaking water onto the floor from underneath

Safety first: Unplug the freezer and mop up any standing water to prevent slipping.

Steps:

• Locate drain: Inside the freezer, remove the rear inner panel to access the evaporator. At the bottom of the evaporator tray, locate the drain hole.
• Clear ice and debris: Use warm (not boiling) water in a turkey baster or squeeze bottle to flush the drain hole until water flows freely into the drain pan below.
• Check drain tube: From the rear, remove the lower panel and inspect the drain tube leading to the pan. Clear any blockages with flexible wire or pipe cleaner.
• Inspect drain pan: Ensure the drain pan is properly positioned on the compressor base and not cracked.
• Check door gasket: A poor seal can cause excess frost and defrost water. Replace the Midea door gasket if it is torn or warped.
