Clogged or freezing defrost drain

In case of a frozen defrost drain, a trough will get overflown with water and start to drip at the compartment’s bottom. Due to this problem, water starts to leak and reaches the floor. Check out whether defrost drain is clogged or frozen. Thaw the ice in case it is frozen. To prevent the fridge from leaking water, clear the drain by flushing hot water so that all the dirt particles are removed.

Water inlet valve

This valve supplies water to icemaker and dispenser. Check out if there is a crack in the inlet valve or if it is loosely fitted due to which the refrigerator water inlet valve might leak. Duly inspect the inlet valve and check for cracks and be sure that it is securely attached to the pipe.

Drain Pan

Drain Pan in a fridge gets defrosted automatically. Water which gets melted from evaporator coil is generally collected in a drain pan. The hot air blown by condenser results in evaporation of water in drain pan.Crack in pan can cause leakage during defrost cycle. Do a thorough inspection of drain pan and then replace it if there is any crack.

Water filter

If your refrigerator is leaking, it is suggested to check the secure connectivity of filters i.e. whether it is tightly secured on the housing or not. If connectivity is not secure then you need to remove it and reinstall it perfectly.
