My admiral model hmg-64184 is leaking water from the bottom of freezer

It sounds like you have a broken place in the door gasket that is allowing warm air to enter the freezer.

Frigidaire FFHS2311LWD has water pooling up and freezing bottom drawer and lower vent. Drain tube doesn't seem to be clogged. Water leaks onto floor some days.

the drain tube is most likely clogged. if the lower vent is freezing up there is no way to confirm because it is covered with ice. the reason water leaks onto the floor is, the refrigerator goes into defrost, frost melts and runs down the ice to the door. use a hair dryer to remove all ice, then use hot water to check drain. drain tube may be up to a foot long and may have a trap. you may have to go in through the back to gain access to the drain

Whoops
The fridge has a refrigerant leak, or the thermostat has failed.
Try replacing the thermostat, if that does not work then you will need to call a technician in to find and repair the refrigerant leak and regass the fridge

The freezer leaks water. We've tried defrosting it but there is still water in the back that doesn't drain away.

There is a small hole in the back of the freezer that lets the water drain into the bucket in the rear of the applaince. This hole will need to bee cleared as it is blocked. Use something like a bottle brush and push down the hole as far as you can go. Don't worry you can't damage anything. The hole is located behind you bottom basket through a small grill that covers your evaporator. It may need some hot water over the hole first it if it is frosted over again.

Hope this helps

The freezer side of my admiral leaks (collects water and it freezes) at the bottowm. then leaks to the floor. what can I do to fix it?

The evaporator coils frost up in normal use and every eight hours or so the entire unit shuts down and the defrost heater comes on to melt the frost. This cycle last about 20 minutes. The melted frost drips into a drain pan and through a drain tube to the drain tray under the freezer/refrigerator where it's evaporated by the condenser fan.


Your drain tube may be stopped up with ice at the upper end because it drains too slow because it's stopped up at the lower end in the evaporator pan under the unit at the floor. It can get dust and mold in it. Once you get the ice out at the top a little pressure with a turkey baster will usually clear it out. Flushing it out with hot water and clorox may help.
Make sure it drains quick enough to prevent refreezing. . The drain should be located below the evaporator coils on the inside of the freezer at the bottom of the rear cover.

Water leaking ( not much , but regular) from bottom of both sides. Freezer section now frosted up. does unit need a service? have had a look online and this seems to be common problem and no real...

the most common reason for frost buildup/condensation is doors not sealing properly(doors out of alignment).
use a spirit level to ensure unit is level,leaning back slightly but not touching wall,adjusters are on feet on the bottom of the unit,then look along the doors to make sure all seals are tight.lastly even though they say frost free it is worthwhile doing a total defrost annually(leave the doors open)and wipe out with bicarb and dry thoroughly.before switching back on.
clean out vents/drains at the same time.
then if it goes wrong you know its gonner cost......

Admiral HMG 62163 water leaking internally & freezing in lower basket

good attempt, its actually a clogged drain thats backing up and your drain water is not able to leave refrig so it falls to bottom of freezer floor and eventually out the door. romve the items from the freezer and take the lower back wall off form inside, directly under the evaporator under all that ice there is a drain hole, youll need to clear that hole of iec( pouring boiling water down until you get a free flow of water then you can reassemble uint problem solved
