Possible Causes

Blocked condensate channel at rear of fridge, Food debris in drain hole, Ice blocking internal drain, Misleveled cabinet causing water to run forward

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the refrigerator before inserting tools into drain channels.

Steps to clear internal water:

  • Locate the drain channel: At the back of the fresh food compartment, find the small drain hole or channel where condensation should flow.
  • Clean debris: Use a soft brush or pipe cleaner to remove food particles or mold from the channel.
  • Flush with warm water: Using a turkey baster or syringe, gently flush warm water through the drain until it flows freely to the rear drain pan.
  • Level the fridge: Adjust the front feet so the cabinet tilts slightly backward, encouraging water to flow to the drain.

Note: Avoid using metal tools that can puncture the liner or drain tube.
