Possible Causes

Loose water inlet connection, Cracked water line to dispenser/ice maker, Overfilled or misaligned drain pan, Condensation due to poor door seal

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Turn off the water supply and unplug the refrigerator before inspecting water lines.

  • Identify leak source: Dry the area and place paper towels under suspected locations (front, rear, under doors) to see where water reappears.
  • Check water connections: Inspect the water inlet valve connections and tubing for drips. Tighten compression fittings gently and replace any cracked tubing with food-grade line.
  • Inspect drain pan: At the rear, ensure the drain pan is properly seated and not cracked or overflowing.
  • Check door gaskets: Poor seals can cause excess condensation that drips out. Replace damaged gaskets.
  • Test after repair: Restore water and power, then monitor for leaks over several hours.
