Question about KitchenAid Superba Architect KSCS25INSS Side by Side Refrigerator
I have water leaking out from underneath the refrigerator. I have turned off the water supply to the ice maker / water dispenser. The leak is still present. Do you know where to locate the defrost drain pan? It is a Kitchenaid Superba Side-by-side.
There is a drip pan located underneath you ref but most likely your prob is a plugged drain line coming from the freezer. when you ref goes into automatic def the water doesnt run out into the drip pan but instead onto your floor..
you can clean the drain line by removing the rear cover in the freezer compartment and using hot water to thaw the drain below the evap coil.

Hello - There are many reason for this issue to occur, for example the refrigerator could have a crack in the defrost pan, a defrost drain line blockage, a leak from the water supply line for the dispenser or ice maker, but most cases water leaking inside and draining through the refrigerator cabinet. Try confirming that the vales are tightened. If the connection is still leaking, turn of the water supply line to the water valve and take the connection apart. You can try using Teflon tape when retightening the connection to ensure a good seal. If these suggestions prove to be ineffective contact a professional to move forward accurately.

I have the same problem and the drain/drip pan is a plastic pan under the freezer side. It just slides out from the front. I can see corrosion on one of the metal tube lines so I am calling in a repair guy. I'll post what they tell me.
the water is leaking out under the kenmore side by side, all connections seem ok but the drain pan is full and over flowing. can't seem to remove it easily, where is this water supposed to go. I can hear nothing running that would evaporate this water in the drain pan. gary
I just spent over an hour sticking a sponge into the drain pan and
soaking up water, then squeezing it out into a bucket, repeat until hot and irritable, to drain the
absolutely full drain pan that was overflowing. I see no easy way to remove this drain pan, and my wrist is raw from pushing across wires into a small opening. I don't know yet whether this water was accumulated over years, or if something has gone terribly wrong - this was uncovered when a dog treat rolled under the fridge, and I sloshed water around moving it to find it. I guess I need to check periodically - say, tomorrow - to see if the pan is filling up again.
This Kitchenaid side-by-side fridge has ALWAYS had the sound of trickling water periodically, but I've never seen the drain pan full before. It's 7 years old - not actually a Superba Architect, it's a KSRG25 Superba unit, but this is the closest match Google provided that I've found.
Any suggestions? I have an even older fridge, that ISN'T EnergyStar, that I've been thinking of replacing, but I sure don't want to replace the NON-LEAKING fridge while keeping the LEAKING one...
And how did they fix the problem. Not calling the repair man over this. It has to be simple, just how do you get to it?
