Possible Causes

Blocked evaporator drain hole, Drain tube kinked or disconnected, Excessive door opening causing condensation, Cabinet not level causing water to overflow

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the unit before working inside. Mop up any standing water to prevent slips.

Steps to stop leaking:

  • Locate drain hole: Inside the cabinet, usually at the bottom of the rear wall, find the small drain opening.
  • Clear blockage: Use a soft brush, cotton swab, or flexible plastic rod to gently clear any debris or mold from the drain hole.
  • Check drain tube: From the rear, locate the drain tube leading to the condensate tray above the compressor. Ensure it is not kinked, blocked, or disconnected.
  • Clean condensate tray: Remove and clean the tray if accessible. Replace it securely so water drips into it.
  • Level the cabinet: Ensure the cooler is slightly tilted back so water flows toward the drain, not out the door.
