Water leaking inside the refrigerator, pooling under crisper drawers.

Safety first: Unplug the refrigerator before removing panels and working with warm water.

Steps:

• Access the drain: Remove freezer shelves and the rear interior panel to expose the evaporator. The drain hole is typically centered beneath the coil.
• Clear ice: Use warm (not boiling) water and a turkey baster or squeeze bottle to melt ice in the drain hole. Repeat until water flows freely.
• Clean drain tube: From the back of the refrigerator, locate the drain tube leading to the drain pan. Remove and flush it with warm water to clear debris.
• Check drain pan: Ensure the drain pan above the compressor is properly positioned and not cracked.
• Reassemble: Reinstall panels and shelves, then restore power.
