Possible Causes
Blocked fresh food drain channel, Ice in drain from warm air leaks, Misaligned drain funnel, Excessive humidity and door openings
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the refrigerator before removing shelves or panels.
Internal leaks often come from a blocked drain channel.
- Locate drain channel: At the back of the fresh food compartment, under the evaporator cover or air tower, locate the drain trough.
- Clear debris: Remove any food particles or debris from the trough and drain hole.
- Flush with warm water: Use a turkey baster or squeeze bottle to flush warm water through the drain until it flows freely to the drain pan.
- Check door gaskets: Ensure gaskets seal properly to reduce warm, moist air entering and causing excess condensation.
- Monitor: Reassemble and monitor for recurrence over several days.
