Do you have water on the kitchen floor? What about pools developing on the inside floor of the refrigerator? Leaky refrigerators are usually easy to fix, as there are only a few possible culprits: door gaskets, defrost drain, and drain pan.
Step 1
Clean or Replace Refrigerator Door Gaskets
The soft rubber-like door gaskets may leak water at the bottom if they do not properly seal. First, clean the seal and the section of the refrigerator that the seal touches with warm, soapy water. If that does not work, replace the door gaskets entirely.
Step 2
Defrost or Unblock Refrigerator Drain
Check to see if the defrost drain that leads out of the freezer is clogged. Knock out any visible obstructions. Use hot water to break up any obstructions farther down the tube.
Step 3
Clear Out or Clean Refrigerator Drain Pan
The drain pan at the bottom of the refrigerator may be so full of water that the water has begun to spill out. Clear the drain pan of water. While you have the drain pan removed, clean it with warm, soapy water and a soft cloth. Do not use abrasives.
