Possible Causes

Clogged defrost drain tube, Cracked or misaligned drain pan, Excessive frost due to door gasket leak, Unit not level causing water to spill

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the freezer and mop up standing water to prevent slips.

Steps:

  • Level the unit: Use a level to ensure the freezer is slightly tilted back so the door closes and water drains properly. Adjust leveling feet as needed.
  • Check drain pan: Remove the rear lower panel and inspect the drain pan above the compressor. Ensure it is not cracked or overflowing.
  • Clear defrost drain: Inside the freezer, remove the rear interior panel and locate the drain hole beneath the evaporator. Flush with hot water using a turkey baster or squeeze bottle to clear ice and debris.
  • Inspect gasket: Replace a damaged door gasket to reduce excess frost and defrost water.
  • Monitor: After clearing the drain and verifying the pan, run the unit and check for further leaks over the next few days.
