How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the refrigerator and shut off the water supply before inspecting underneath. Use caution when moving the appliance.

- 2. Inspect drain pan: Look for cracks or warping in the plastic drain pan under the compressor. Replace if damaged.
- 3. Check water connections: Inspect the supply line connection and the outlet fittings on the water inlet valve for drips. Tighten or replace fittings as needed.
