Fridge is Leaking? Here is How to Fix It

How to Clear the Defrost Drain Hole

1. Locate the defrost drain hole, typically found at the back wall inside the freezer or fresh food compartment.
2. Use a small, flexible tool like a pipe cleaner or a thin piece of wire to gently clear any ice or debris clogging the opening.
3. Flush the drain gently with a mixture of warm water and a tiny amount of baking soda using a turkey baster or small syringe.
4. Check the drain pan located underneath the fridge to ensure the water is draining properly and that the pan is not cracked.

Safe Steps to Try Before Calling a Technician

1. Ensure your refrigerator is perfectly level, as a slight tilt can cause condensation to overflow from the drain pan.
2. Inspect the door gaskets for gaps or debris that might be letting warm, humid air inside, causing excessive condensation.
3. Verify that the water supply line connected to your ice maker or water dispenser is tightly secured and shows no signs of moisture.
4. Check that food items are not blocking the internal air vents, which can disrupt airflow and lead to ice buildup.
