How to fix Water Leaks from the Refrigerator?

A Refrigerator always running and used daily, your refrigerator is designed to last. Even so, some easy
mistakes can compromise their functions and cause a water leak. If you notice water on the floor of your
kitchen room, see below common causes and easy solutions.

A refrigerator that is leaking water will not work as efficiently as it should; it may not keep your food
cooling safely and can cause costly water damage to the floor and structure under the appliance.
Fortunately, there are several solutions you can try before calling a experienced technician. Start by
checking the drain pan under the appliance, and then continue to confirm that the refrigerator is level
properly. After that, try to rinse the drain line with hot water if necessary. If the problem is still not
resolved, unplug and remove the refrigerator to inspect the drain and supply lines. At this point, try to
repair yourself or call an experienced technician (LG Refrigerator Repair Service Center nearby you).

Common problems of Refrigerator Water Leaks:

Check Door Gaskets:

The Defective seals allow hot air to enter and cold air to go out from the refrigerator. As a result, the
inside temperature of your refrigerator will increase, causing you to work overtime to keep things cool.
This additional work will generate condensation around the cooling coils, which will cause dripping. Over
time, these pools will grow and eventually become large puddles. Start by checking the rubber door
seals. If you notice a defective seal, rub the joints with warm water. This will remove any accumulation.
Applying a thin layer of petroleum jelly to the board can also create a seal. If you still have a defective
seal, you may need professional technician to repair your refrigerator. Call Doorstep Hub and get service
at your Doorstep.
Check water supply lines:

If your refrigerator is level and your drain is not clogged but you still see a daily puddle, the problem
could be with your water supply line. (Other signs that point to a problematic water line: unstable ice
production and slow water flow to the command on the refrigerator door.) Here, too, you must
disconnect the refrigerator to inspect more, so be prepared by placing your perishable products in a safe
place being for the moment.

Remove it from the wall and look at the plastic hose that comes out of your ice maker and the water
filter on the back of the appliance. If you see the water dripping or accumulating along the outside of
the hose, it leaks. The choice is yours: you can call a repair technician or, if you are confident in your
ability to complete the task in question, ask for a new hose and exchange it yourself. The latter involves
closing the shut-off valve of the water supply, which you will find under the sink closest to the
refrigerator or in the basement, and replace the hose according to the manufacturer's instructions. Just
be sure to tighten the connections at both ends when finished to avoid another instance of water
leaking in your refrigerator.

Blockage of Defrost Drain:

A blocked defrost drain is one of the most common causes of water leaks from your refrigerator and it is
a good time to start troubleshooting. The small drain opening is easily blocked by food or ice particles,
preventing water that accumulated during the defrosting cycle from draining into the tray. When
enough water accumulates, it begins to drip from the refrigerator to the floor. Clean the drain by rinsing
it with hot water. Use a short piece of rigid wire, such as a wire hanger, if necessary to remove the
blockage.

Replace a Bad Drain Pan:

It is not common, but occasionally the drain pan at the bottom of the refrigerator may lead a crack that
allows water to seep. It is normal for a small amount of water to accumulate in the drain pan, but it is
not normal for it to escape from the tray. Water in the drain pan must evaporate long before it becomes
a concern thanks to the condenser fan that blows hot air through the tray surface. Examine the drain
pan for any cracks or damage happen, especially if the defrost drain is clean and there are signs of water
in any other part of the refrigerator. You need to replace the pan if damaged.
