Reasons Your Fridge Might Be Leaking

11/9/2018

Is there a leak in your kitchen? If so, you should check underneath your fridge for signs of pooling water. More often than not, your fridge is the main culprit of the leak in the kitchen. If aren´t certain of the exact cause of your leaking fridge, here are some of the reasons;
  • Check to see if the defrost drain is blocked
In most cases, a fridge starts leaking water when the defrost drain is blocked. In a nutshell, a defrost drain is basically a small passage that enables water that is collected during the defrost process to drain into a pan for easy disposal. When this passage (hole) is blocked, the collected water accumulates inside the fridge itself and causes the leak.
  • Check the water filter
It is absolutely essential for your water filter to fit correctly with your fridge. If it doesn´t and if there is a poor connection between the water supply and the fridge, your fridge will start leaking. The leak could also occur due to the holes in the filter.
  • Defective ice maker
Does your fridge feature an ice maker that is connected to the water supply? If so, you should examine the ice maker and inspect the pipes and hoses attached to it. If there are kinks in the pipes, this could cause excess pressure, causing leaks where the pipes are connected to the device. Therefore, you should tighten the connections and check the pipes and hoses for tears and cracks.
