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

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Clogged defrost drain tube, Frozen drain outlet at evaporator, Cracked or misaligned drain pan, Excessive frost due to door gasket leaks

Safety: Unplug the refrigerator before accessing internal drains.

Locate defrost drain: Inside the freezer or fresh food section, remove the rear panel to expose the evaporator and drain trough.
Clear ice and debris: Use warm water to melt ice in the drain trough and tube. A turkey baster can help flush the drain.
Check drain pan: At the bottom rear, inspect the drain pan for cracks or misalignment.
Inspect door gaskets: Repair or replace damaged gaskets to reduce excess frost and water.
