Susan in TN Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 On and off over the past couple weeks we have found a puddle of water on the kitchen floor and the bottom of the fridge filled with water. The stuff in the freezer is frozen solid - so nothing is thawing/dripping from there. We don't have a water dispenser or ice maker of any kind. Where is this water coming from?!? :mad: (And can it be fixed?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs Mungo Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 There is defrosting going on in most modern freezers, even if you don't realize it. Most refrigerators have a drip pan underneath them (usually where you pull off that little grate thing at the bottom front). There are drain hoses. Yours is probably clogged.http://www.managemylife.com/mmh/articles/authored/how-to-get-rid-of-refrigerator-puddles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somo_chickenlady Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Ours was doing that when we first moved in, and we figured out that it was b/c there was a crack in the filter for the water and ice dispenser. Once we removed the filter (we never get water from it anyway, just tap, and we just buy ice b/c I don't like the taste of the ice it made) it stopped leaking.

KatieJ Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 We had this problem with our's . DH researched it and found out that the drain tube was too close to the freezer coils in the back and therefore the liquid in the drain tube was freezing. We had to unplug it and completely thaw it out. Then he ran a copper wire up the inside of the drain tube and tada! No more leaking inside our fridge.
