Water pooling under your refrigerator?
Most refrigerator leaks come from a blocked defrost drain or a loose water line. Left alone, leaks can damage flooring and lead to mold. We'll find the source and stop it.
Common symptoms
- Water on the floor in front of the fridge
- Water pooling inside the fridge compartment
- Ice buildup under the crisper drawers
- Water dispenser or ice maker dripping
Possible causes
- Clogged or frozen defrost drain
- Cracked or loose water supply line
- Faulty water inlet valve
- Damaged drain pan
- Improper leveling causing runoff
What the technician checks
- Clear and flush the defrost drain
- Inspect water lines and connections
- Test the water inlet valve
- Check leveling and door alignment
- Inspect drain pan for cracks
What you can do before calling
- Wipe up standing water to protect your floor
- Check behind the fridge for an obvious kinked or dripping line
- Turn off the ice maker and water dispenser if leaking from that area
