How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the refrigerator and mop up any standing water to prevent slipping.

Steps:

  • 1. Inspect front area: Check that the leak is not from a water dispenser or filter (if fitted). If so, see water system faults.
  • 2. Access rear drain pan: Remove the rear lower cover and locate the plastic drain pan above the compressor.
  • 3. Check drain tube: Ensure the tube from the cabinet is properly inserted into the pan and not cracked.
  • 4. Inspect pan: Look for cracks or warping. Replace the pan if damaged with the correct V-ZUG drain tray.
  • 5. Clear drain line: Flush the drain from inside the cabinet as described in blocked drain faults.

Warning: If you see signs of mold or contamination, clean the area thoroughly with a mild disinfectant.
