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

Safety first: Unplug the refrigerator before removing interior panels. Use towels to catch water.

Steps:

• 1. Locate leak source: Check if water is pooling under the crisper drawers or dripping from the freezer compartment.
• 2. Access evaporator drain: Remove the rear interior panel in the freezer to expose the evaporator and drain trough.
• 3. Clear drain hole: Use a turkey baster or squeeze bottle with hot (not boiling) water to flush the drain hole until water flows freely to the drain pan under the unit.
• 4. Clean drain tube: From the back of the refrigerator, remove the drain tube leading to the drain pan. Clean it with hot water and a flexible brush if needed.
• 5. Reinstall and test: Reassemble panels, plug in the unit, and monitor for leaks over the next 24–48 hours.
