WHY DOES MY FRIDGE LOSE WATER?


Always unplug the refrigerator before working on it. Review the security procedures.
The most common problem in a leaky refrigerator is a plugged drain. All no frost refrigerators have a defrosting cycle that melts the ice and ice that can form on the evaporator coils and the water is conveyed out to a saucepan or a container placed outside the refrigerator, usually under the refrigerator near the compressor.

The drain can be clogged with pieces of food, ice, or small pieces of plastic. In some refrigerators this drain is easily found and can be cleaned resulting in normal operation. However, most refrigerators have this drain located behind a rear panel and requires a little disassembly to access the escape. This process requires a bit of patience and time.

Another possibility is the regulation of the temperature too low, so there is a greater production of water on the refrigerating part of the refrigerator in the form of ice, which then melting can not be disposed of properly or by heating and consequent evaporation.

Take note of where the water comes from. It came out of the freezer, it is coming out of the fresh food compartment, it came from under the refrigerator, it is a spill from the back. How often does it happen? Twice a day or more?
