Possible Causes

Loose water inlet hose connection, Cracked internal water line (ice maker models), Overfilled or misaligned drip tray, Blocked defrost drain causing overflow

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the refrigerator and close the external water supply valve if connected.

Step-by-step:

  • Inspect water connections: Check the water inlet hose at the rear for tightness and signs of leakage.
  • Check drip tray: Remove the rear lower cover and inspect the drip tray above the compressor. Ensure it is not cracked or overflowing.
  • Defrost drain: Clear the defrost drain as described in the blocked drain entry.
  • Internal lines: For ice maker models, inspect visible water lines inside the freezer and door for cracks or disconnections. Replace damaged Liebherr water lines.
