Water leaking inside fresh food or freezer compartment; ice buildup on bottom of freezer.

Safety first: Unplug the refrigerator before removing freezer panels. Water and ice can create slip hazards.

Steps to clear internal leaks:

• 1. Remove ice buildup: Take out freezer drawers and the rear panel. Use a hair dryer on low to melt ice from the bottom and around the drain hole.
• 2. Clear the drain: Use a turkey baster with hot water to flush the drain hole until water flows freely to the rear drain pan.
• 3. Check drain heater: Some Frigidaire models have a small heater or aluminum strap near the drain. Ensure it is in place to prevent re‑freezing.
• 4. Reassemble: Dry the area, reinstall panels and drawers, and restore power.
