Water leaking inside refrigerator compartment; water pooling under drawers or at bottom.

Safety: Unplug the refrigerator before working inside compartments.

Steps:

• Locate drain: The defrost drain is usually at the lowest point under the evaporator cover in the fridge or freezer.
• Clear ice: Use warm (not boiling) water in a turkey baster to melt ice in the drain hole until water flows freely.
• Clean drain tube: From the rear, locate the drain outlet above the compressor and gently insert a flexible plastic line or pipe cleaner to clear debris.
• Sanitize: Flush with a mild bleach solution to discourage future mold growth.
