I bought the same JFC2290 model and it says "Auto defrost". Mine is only 10 months old and it starts having exactly same problem already. Water leaks and I have to clean my hardwood floor twice a week. I will never own Jen junk again!

SOURCE: Leaking water

Mine just starting leaking also. Water gathers in bottom, then freezessolid. then additional water leaks out. I've check ice maker and door water line. confirmed by turning off water supply. Water continues to build in bottom. I think it might be the defroster. somehow the defrosting water is not draining? Check your out and let me know what you find.

SOURCE: jenn air jcd2389g side by side refrigerator water leak

sounds like a leak where your incoming water line hooks to the water valves might just need to tighten the coupling or a mouse has chewed through one or both of the lines access the lines on the back and watch while some one gets water out the door to locate the leak

SOURCE: HELP WITH WATER LEAK??

If you have turned the water off and it is still leaking out of the freezer side you may have a plugged drain. the drain is there as part of the defrost system to keep modern refrigerators frost free. When the machine goes into defrost and the heater in the freezer comes on it drains out the drain to a pan underneath and the heat from the compressor and the condenser fan underneath the unit evaporate it and the whole process starts all over again. every once in a while something will plug the drain on the bottom of the inside of the freezer side and when the heater kicks on to defrost the refrig the water cant go anywhere but to the bottom of the freezer and seeps out the front at the bottom of the door between the gasket and the refrig. check the drain...because if you have turned off the water and it is still showing up this could very well be your problem. Take the bottom shelves out of the freezer and look to the back and bottom at the middle sometimes you can see the drain and sometimes you have to remove the thin metal panel covering the back bottom half of the freezer,....inspect the drain hole and remove any obstructions or ice build up. if need be pour hot water into the drain to melt any ice that could be causing the obstruction to the drain. and the hot water should drain out of the frige.Write me back and let me know if I can help you further....

check the freezer side and see if there is ice under bottom rack and floor if so you have a clogged drain,follow the floor to the back wall and the bottom of back wall panel,there is a drain there,use hair dryer to melt out and then you need a steamer or something to blow out the drain line,check it by pooring hot water in the drain you'll know if you unclogged it if the water drains through

Water is draining into the house?.where is the drain?

Hello, the unit must be tilted back in the window to prevent the condensate from leaking inside. Some units will have a drain plug on the bottum, while others use the condenser fan to scoop up the condensate and splash the condenser to keep it cooler and evaporate the condensate.

The unit is on a hardwood floor and there is water damage to the floor. The unit appears to be dry now. Could it have a leak that can't be seen?

The potential for water leaking to the floor is probably still there. Open the door of the unit, look in the back and you will see a white plate; that is the evaporator. When the unit is running, there is a light frost that forms on the front and back surface of the evaporator; sometimes the frost can get a bit thick because of air laden moisture infiltration or the frequency of door opening. That frost eventually will melt and drain from a drain hole right underneath the evaporator. If that drain hole is plugged up, water will eventually leak out from under the door. Keep that hole clean and patent and also check the state of the water collecting pan underneath the the unit. That might solve your water problem.

Mine did this a few years ago. I had to call service out to replace the system board. I guess it's a common problem. Something on the board fails and the defrost operation does not work properly, resulting in rapid meltdown of ice build-up and puddles on the floor.

I have a jenn air side by side and water seems to be leaking near the front left corner area at random times and when it does leak it is a slow drip.... thoughts?

Look in the freezer floor to see if you have ice built up and over flowing into the floor. If so you have a clogged drain line which is located in the freezer behind the lower basket in the litttle gap at the bottom of the back wall. If you don't have that, the water line that runs to the water in the door is located at the front left side as well and you can get to that by pulling off the bottom piece of plastic that runs along the bottom of the whole machine.

Hello and Welcome to FixYa!
Actually the leaking water is from the evaporator coil unit.... Under normal conditions,Self-defrost refrigerators usually dispose the water generated during the defrost cycle through a tube or channel that directs the water a pan (Known as Drip pan), commonly below the refrigerator unit....
The channel or tube is clogged and the water is leaking to the refrigerator unit, so you need to clear that blockage/contamination....Once the blockage is removed, the generated water will move through that channel/tube directly to the drip pan and there will no water on the floor in the refrigerator compartment. This is all you need to do....


Best of Luck,


Your token of appreciation in form of rating would be highly obliged,

I have a Jenn Air JCD2389GE Side by Side. My problem is that at random times (once, twice a week and sometimes once every two weeks) a puddle of water is on our tile floor just in front of the freezer...

You have a frozen defrost drain. whenever the unit goes into defrost, usually once a day the water instead of running down the drain is running out on the interior and then onto your floor.Fairly easy fix if your game?
  • unplug your refrig
  • remove all food from interior of freezer
  • remove shelving
  • remove 2 screws holding the rear cover in place these are usually painted white to blend witht he cover. btw this is the lower cover so you do not have to remove icemaker or dispenser bucket.
  • once cover is removed defrost all of the ice that you see with a hair dryer
  • once the ice is gone you will see a drain hole in the center beneath the cooling coil ou need to flush hot water thru this hole to clear any ice and sludge that may be in the line. ( I sometimes have to use a syringe or turkey baster filled with hot water to forcefully clear this line)
  • reassemble in reverse order
If you have any further questions or comments leave them here and I'll get back to you. Thanks Peyton
