If this happens, be careful that too much food doesn’t accidentally block the freezer’s ventilation. Another reason could be that you’re not careful when closing the freezer door. Believe it or not, a properly sealed freezer door can lead to leaks when the freezer reaches melting temperatures. Check your door seals for cracks or breaks. If you find any, you’ll need to replace them. At the same time, you should also carefully place the food in the freezer.
3. Check the defrost drain.
The defrost drain is usually located at the back of a freezer and can easily become clogged by a full freezer. If this drain is clogged, the coils have to work harder, which can lead to condensation. This condensation falls to the floor and forms a puddle. To remedy this, rearrange your freezer so that the drain is no longer clogged. Then, rinse the drain with warm water to clear any blockages.
4. Check the
ice maker. The ice maker’s inlet hose can also cause leaks in the refrigerator if it’s clogged. Unplug your refrigerator first before removing the ice maker. To inspect it, loosen the screws and then disconnect the wiring harness. Use a hairdryer to melt the ice in the inlet hose until water stops flowing from the hose.
If the leak cannot be resolved by all of the above measures, please contact a technician.
