Possible Causes

Loose or cracked water supply line, leaking compression fitting at shutoff valve, cracked plastic tubing inside cabinet, leaking water inlet valve body

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off the water supply immediately and disconnect power. Water near electrical components is hazardous.

  • Step 1 – Pull unit out: Carefully move the appliance away from the wall to access the rear.
  • Step 2 – Inspect supply line: Check the line from the shutoff valve to the refrigerator for drips, cracks, or loose fittings. Tighten or replace as needed.
  • Step 3 – Check inlet valve: Examine the Fisher & Paykel water inlet valve for signs of leakage around the body or fittings. Replace if leaking.
  • Step 4 – Inspect internal tubing: If accessible, look for wet insulation or tubing inside the rear compartment. Replace any cracked tubing.

After repairs, dry the area, restore water, and check carefully for new leaks before pushing the unit back into place.
