hi August.
Cause: A blocked defrost drain is one of the most common causes of
water leakage. This happens when food particles or other debris clogs up the drain hose, which can lead to ice buildup and, eventually,
water leaking out of the
freezer and
refrigerator.
3 common refrigerator problems you can easily fix yourself
The
freezer drain hose will drain the defrost
water into a drip pan at the bottom of the
freezer. When this pan becomes full, it will
leak water onto the floor. This is a regular maintenance task whenever the
freezer defrosts. Empty the drip pan during the defrost cycle.
How to Fix Water Leaking From the Bottom of Freezer
Why is my fridge leaking water on the floor?
If the
refrigerator is
leaking water it's possible that the
refrigerator has a clogged or freezing defrost drain. If the defrost drain freezes the defrost
water will overflow the drain and drip down to the bottom of the compartment, If enough
water accumulates in the bottom it can run out onto the floor.
SOLVED Water leak in refrigerator Refrigerator
What is the brand and model number of your fridge?
I can only guess, but you might have a plastic condensation pan that slides out to the front. It might be located behind the bottom grill that should pop off. The pan might be full and overflowing. Ours used to get full in humid environments, but after moving to a dryer climate, the condensation that collected in the pan evaporates before it can overflow. Now we simply clean it once every few months to prevent odor problems.
