Possible Causes
Partially clogged defrost drain, Misaligned drain trough, Ice blocking drain opening, Cracked drain pan under evaporator
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the refrigerator before working inside.
Steps:
- 1. Remove drawers: Take out crisper drawers and shelves to inspect the bottom of the fresh food compartment.
- 2. Check for ice: Look for ice buildup around the rear drain area. Melt with a hair dryer on low and towels.
- 3. Clear drain: Use hot water and a turkey baster to flush the drain hole until it flows freely.
- 4. Inspect trough and pan: Ensure the drain trough is properly seated and not cracked. Replace if damaged.
