Water pooling on the floor in front of or under the freezer.

Safety first: Unplug the freezer and mop up any standing water to prevent slips. Avoid using sharp tools near plastic parts.

Steps to clear water leaks:

• Identify source: Check if water is coming from the front (door area) or rear (drain pan area).
• Inspect door gasket: If condensation drips from the door, ensure the gasket seals properly and that the door is not left ajar.
• Clear defrost drain: Remove the interior rear panel and locate the drain hole at the bottom of the evaporator tray. Use warm water and a turkey baster or squeeze bottle to flush the drain. A flexible plastic drain brush or pipe cleaner can help clear clogs.
• Check drain tube and pan: At the rear or bottom of the unit, locate the drain tube and collection pan. Ensure the tube is properly seated in the pan and not cracked. Clean debris from the pan.
• Defrost heavy ice: If the evaporator tray is full of ice, perform a full manual defrost until all ice is gone, then restart the unit.
