Possible Causes

Blocked internal drain hole, Disconnected or cracked drain hose, Evaporation tray misaligned, Excessive condensation from frequent door openings

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the unit before working inside or behind it.

Steps to clear water issues:

  • Locate drain hole: Inside the cabinet, find the small drain opening at the rear bottom area.
  • Clear blockage: Use a soft pipe cleaner or flexible plastic rod to gently clear any debris or mold from the drain.
  • Check rear drain hose: From the back, ensure the drain hose is securely connected from the liner to the evaporation tray above the compressor and is not kinked.
  • Inspect evaporation tray: Make sure the tray is properly seated and not cracked.

Persistent leaks after clearing the drain may indicate a liner crack or hose damage that requires part replacement.
