Water is leaking inside of my refrigeartor. It is a frigidaire gallery model FRT18QGJWO. I have located the water source as probably coming from the roof of the refrigerator right under the freezer.

    I had already found ice and cleared the tube. Water is making it to the drip pan slowly. It is still dripping a very slow drip from the plastic enclosed wire that runs from the thermostat to the back of refrigerator. Specifically it is dripping from a plastic anchor holding the wire. I am find water on the top left shelf because if this.

    do you mean the entire wall panel or the area where the temperature control is for the freezer?

  • catesaryn1 Sep 04, 2011

    I removed the back panel and all I saw was a small amount of ice on the coils. I replaced everything as it was. Could the small amount of build up on the freezer coils indcate the problem? If so how do I fix it?

Remove the back wall panel on the freezer. After removing, you will see the drain hole for the freezer. Look to make sure it did not ice up and that no debris has clogged it up.

The most possible reason is the spout drain tube and the drain tube are goggle with something including a peace of ice and the water produce from defrost it can pass thought spout or tube or it can ran freely and overflow in the fridge thus the dripping. The drain spout is no 25 and drain tube no 23 at the parts diagram of your fridge. So you can clean the spout and the tube using a long wire so the defrost water end on the drain pan over the compressor at the back of the fridge.

    There should be exceed ice build up if the tube was blocked from ice as you said so there will be some drip from other places too. Also you you check the leveling of the fridge so the melting water to end up in the center back of the fridge many times a small change in leveling can cause the problem you describe.

Frigidaire Gallery model GLRT214RA. Why is my fridge leaking water in the vegetable containers area.

Question edited for clarity.

The Defrost drain is blocked. It is normally located on the outside rear. When it blocks, water runs into the fridge when the freezer defrosts, usually in the night. so you wake up and it's wet.

Leaking pure source 2 ice and water filter

Hi-

Three things

  • Water supply valve may not be completely open.
    Open valve completely.
  • Water supply valve may be blocked by foreign material or may not be large enough.
    Supply valve must have a 1/4" opening for water to fully supply ice maker. Many self-piercing valves do not have this big of an opening. Replace water supply valve with one that has a 1/4" opening.
  • Water filter may need changing.
    If equipped with a water filter, replace filter canister or cartridge.
Hope this help

Thanks for using Fixya!

Why does my frigidaire washer leak

Hello friend, I appreciate your post!

I see you are asking about a Frigidaire washer leaking but your question is labeled under refrigerators. If your washer is leaking it could be a problem within your motor, water valve, drain pump, or seal inside your washer. If you are speaking about a refrigerator it could be an issue within your water valve, water filter, or an air leak causing condensation.

I would recommend having a professional come out to the home for a proper diagnose and repair. I hope this is helpful. -Matt

Frigidaire gallery washer

Not likely that the problem is a pump.. Water usually comes into the machine under the normal pressure of your water supply. Hence, pump problems usually manifest themselves by not pumping the water OUT of a machine. First, check that the electrical power is coming to the machine. If it is.... and your water is definitely turned on..... you most likely have a problem with a switch, or relay or something else inside the machine.. Probably time for a repairman...

Frigidaire gallery pro series model frs26zsh water leaks out somewhere goes into backside of freezer eventually goes down to underside of bottom basket and freezes

Mor than likely you have a clogged defrost drain. Drain is located at the bottom of freezer compartment behind the back panel. You will have to remove the panel and blow out (or vacuum) the drain hole. Hope this helps
