Water leaking on to the floor (usually the front right hand side). I've checked the drip trays that catch the defrost water and they seem ok. I've also cleaned the condenser. The problem only began as the weather warmed up so could it be condensation on the outer case of the fridge because when it was installed with the kitchen, the joiner 'clad' the front and right hand side panels with wood to match the cupboards so any condenstaion would be hidden?

SOURCE: I have a fridge freezer

check if there is a gulley on the back wall of the fridge with a drain hole in the middle. if so, this drain may be blocked. poke something flexible down the drain till water flows away freely

remove freezer back panel and you will see a tray at the bottom with a drain hole in the middle and it is this which is blocked. if blocked with ice, clear with some hot water and make sure drain is free and water flows away

Now I think I have other things wrong with mine,after leakage problem the refrigeration compartment wont cool anymore but the freezer part remains working as usual.Ive nailed this down to one of the following not working... Thermostat / timer / defrost heater.So one or more of these needs replacing.Im just trying to look for a manual which shows the nuts and bolts or the refrigerator (not the "How to use" type manual which I have).

SOURCE: bosch fridge freezer - ice build up and water leak from freezer

Hi,
This is most likely a blocked drain pipe - blocked with ice that is.

Remove all the drawers in the freezer - and stack them up.
With the unit switched off and unplugged, undo the fixings on the rear pannel in the freezer (behind the drawers)
Remove it to see the evaporator coils etc.
At the base there should be a channel - and a hole leading to the drain pipe. This needs unblocking wih a thin flexible cable. -net curtain support wire is ideal, and cheap. or use a short length of insulated cable.
Check it comes out at the rear of the unit onto the evaporator container - situated on top ofthe compressor.
Replace everything and switch on.

GE side by side refrigerator model no TFG20JAWWW 627 litre is occasionally leaking water

Check the drip tray in the freezer section where defrost water drips from the defrost heater melting frost during the defrost cycle. If ice blocks the drain hole in the tray inside the freezer(usually behind the evaporator cover) the defrost water will travel into the bottom of the freezer & onto your floor. Some models also have a second evaporator in the fresh food section. A blocked drain or clogged defrost drain tube can cause the problem.

Water appears on the floor outside the fridge. I have a side by side fridge freezer, Magic Chef

There's a tray under the refrigerator that catches the water dripping down when your auto-defrost cycle runs. Usually this water evaporates before the tray overfills. Either you don't have enough air flow around the refrigerator for the water to evaporate, or the tray may have developed a leak.

I have a Kenmore Eliten refrig side by side that is leaking water from the bottom left front and side. I emptied the exterior water tray near the ice machine thinking that was the problem. It is still...

Greetings,

Please look at the freezer floor under the basket"if you have one" the drain usually gets clogged and this causes the water from defrosting to overflow and run over the ice out to the floor. if you look close and this is the problem..there will be tell-tale sign's......to repair this, you will need to defrost the drain...if this is not it,or you need help to figure out about defrosting...let me know....please leave a testimonial if this solves your problem ....Bruce Denton

Water is leaking from the bottom of the fridge. Why? It is destroying the wooden floor. Refrigerator is Whirlpool Model # ED25UEXHW01

Some water dripping under the refrigerator is normal. There is supposed to be a drip tray to collect it, and there is not so much that it can't evaporate. Check to see that the tray is still there, in the right place, and not cracked. If the drip tray is full of water, then you have another problem. If your air is humid, you would get more water during the defrost cycle and the water in the drip tray wouldn't evaporate very fast. If your freezer door seal is not air tight, you would get more water to defrost. My guess is, the drip tray is out of place or cracked.

Fridge Leaking water from front right hand corner

Most likely you're correct, the defrost cycle produces water that is supposed to be captured in a holding tray, pan, etc. If the pan is cracked it would leak out or if the drip tube (pipe) is not in place it would miss the pan. It may be easier to remove the contents of the small frige and tip it over some to see what you can down there. I assume this small unit doesn't have any water souce to it (no ice maker or water). Check the tubing for damage and see if you can find the holding pan to inspect for crackes, etc.

Fridge Leaking water from front right hand corner

yes, get a pipe cleaner and put in to the hole to try and clear if not from the back you will find the pipe which will be clipped to a plastic tray on the compressor. unclip and blow up the pipe this will always clear the blockage.
