Refrigerator leaking water onto the floor from the front or underneath.

Safety: Unplug the refrigerator before removing panels. Use towels to catch water and prevent slipping.

Steps to clear leaks from defrost drain:

• Identify leak source: Check if water is coming from the front of the freezer, under the crisper drawers, or from the rear bottom area.
• Access drain trough: Remove freezer shelves and the rear interior panel to expose the evaporator and drain trough beneath it.
• Clear ice and debris: Use warm water and a turkey baster or squeeze bottle to flush the drain hole until water flows freely into the drain pan below.
• Check drain tube: From the back of the refrigerator, locate the drain tube leading to the drain pan. Remove and clean it if clogged with debris or mold.
• Inspect drain pan: Ensure the pan is properly positioned on the compressor frame and not cracked. Replace if damaged.
• Reassemble and monitor: After clearing the drain and confirming proper flow, reassemble panels and monitor for further leaks.
