Water leaking inside the refrigerator compartment, often under the crisper drawers.

Safety: Unplug the refrigerator before removing shelves and panels.

• Remove shelves and drawers: Access the back wall of the fridge compartment.
• Locate drain channel: Look for a small trough or drain hole at the bottom of the rear panel.
• Clean drain: Use a pipe cleaner or flexible brush to remove debris. Flush with warm water until it flows freely.
• Defrost ice: If ice is present, gently melt it with warm water or a hair dryer on low, avoiding direct heat on plastic.
• Reassemble: Dry the area, reinstall shelves and drawers, and monitor for recurrence.
