Possible Causes

Ice blockage in drain hole, Food debris in drain tube, Drain heater not working (if equipped), Poor cabinet leveling causing water misdirection

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Access the drain:

  • Unplug the refrigerator.
  • Remove freezer shelves and the rear interior panel to expose the evaporator and drain trough.
  • Look for ice buildup over the drain hole.

Clear the blockage:

  • Use warm (not boiling) water in a turkey baster or squeeze bottle to flush the drain hole until water flows freely into the drain pan below.
  • Remove any visible debris.

Check leveling:

  • Ensure the refrigerator is slightly tilted back so doors close and water flows to the rear drain.
