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?
