Water leaking onto the floor from the front or under the refrigerator

Safety: Unplug the refrigerator before working inside the freezer. Use towels to catch water.

Steps:

• 1. Locate the defrost drain: Inside the freezer, remove drawers and the rear panel. At the bottom of the evaporator area is a drain hole leading to a tube.
• 2. Clear ice and debris: Use warm water (syringe or turkey baster) to flush the drain until water flows freely to the drain pan under the fridge. Do not use sharp tools.
• 3. Check external drain pan: At the back bottom, inspect the drain pan for cracks or misalignment. Reposition or replace if damaged.
• 4. Prevent recurrence: Ensure doors close properly to reduce excess frost that can refreeze in the drain.
