Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off the water supply to the refrigerator and unplug the unit before inspecting for leaks. Use towels to prevent slipping on wet floors.
Step 1 – Inspect for visible leaks:
- Check around the front of the refrigerator and under the doors for water.
- Pull the unit forward and inspect the floor and base pan for standing water.
Step 2 – Check the water filter and housing:
- Remove the water filter and inspect the O-rings for damage or misalignment.
- Ensure the filter is a GE-approved model and is fully seated when reinstalled.
- Inspect the filter housing for cracks or leaks while the water is on.
Step 3 – Inspect internal water lines:
- Remove the rear lower access panel.
- Check plastic water lines for kinks, cracks, or loose push-in fittings.
- Tighten or re-seat any suspect connections.
Step 4 – Check leak sensor/float switch:
- Some GE Monogram models have a float or sensor in the base pan that detects water.
- If water is present, dry the pan completely and verify the float moves freely.
- If the float or sensor is stuck or damaged, replace the leak sensor/float switch.
Step 5 – Restore water and test:
- Turn the water supply back on and monitor for leaks while dispensing water and running the ice maker.
- If LC clears and no leaks are present, continue to monitor over the next 24 hours.
When to call a technician: If you cannot locate the source of the leak or if internal door tubing is leaking, professional service is recommended.
