Freezer leaking water onto the floor at the front or rear

Safety: Unplug the freezer and be prepared for water spillage.

Steps:

• 1. Access drain: Remove the inner rear panel to expose the evaporator and locate the drain hole beneath it.
• 2. Clear ice: Use warm (not boiling) water in a squeeze bottle or turkey baster to melt ice in the drain hole. Repeat until water flows freely.
• 3. Clean drain tube: From the rear, locate the drain tube leading to the drain pan. Gently insert a flexible plastic line to clear debris.
• 4. Check drain pan: Ensure the drain pan above the compressor is correctly positioned and not cracked or overflowing.
• 5. Reassemble: Replace panels and monitor for further leaks.
