Clogged or frozen defrost drain: If the defrost drain is blocked or frozen, water can accumulate and leak out of the refrigerator. You can try clearing the drain by using a turkey baster or a pipe cleaner to remove any debris or ice. Consult your refrigerator's manual for specific instructions on accessing and cleaning the defrost drain.
Improperly sealed gaskets: Check the door gaskets (rubber seals) around the refrigerator and freezer compartments. If they are damaged, dirty, or not sealing properly, warm air can enter the refrigerator, causing condensation and water leakage. Clean the gaskets with mild soapy water and ensure they are properly aligned and making a tight seal.
Excessive humidity: High humidity levels in the surrounding environment can cause condensation inside the refrigerator, leading to water leakage. Consider using a dehumidifier in the area or adjusting the overall humidity levels in your home.
Faulty water supply line: If your refrigerator has a water dispenser or an ice maker, there may be a leak in the water supply line. Check the connections and look for any signs of damage or leaks. Tighten or replace the water supply line if necessary.
Internal component issues: There could be a malfunctioning part inside the refrigerator, such as a cracked water inlet valve or a faulty drain pan. In such cases, it's best to contact a professional appliance repair technician to diagnose and fix the issue.
