A leaking fridge is a common problem that should be dealt with quickly. There could be any number of issues which can cause your refrigerator to leak. A leaking fridge can spoil our food, create a mess, make the floor slippery and be a safety threat. We depend on efficient fridges to keep our food fresh, cool and bacteria-free. An inefficient fridge uses more energy and does not perform its function well. Keeping your refrigerator well-maintained and serviced at all times is crucial. Is your fridge overdue for some service or maintenance? Schedule a refrigerator customer care service with OneDios.
Following are some of the reasons why your refrigerator might be leaking:
- A blocked defrost drain
The defrost drain can easily get blocked because of an overstuffed freezer. Resulting in ice build-up as the condenser coils have to work harder to keep your refrigerator cool. This ice build-up instead of draining out pools at the bottom of the fridge or on the shelves due to the clogged defrost drain.
To unclog a blocked defrost drain, remove frozen food items, empty the freezer, disconnect it, or squirt some hot water down the defrost drain. Ensure you regularly clean the drain hole to avoid water collecting inside the refrigerator. If the leakage still doesn’t stop, it’s time to call an expert. Call OneDios or download the OneDios app when you require immediate refrigerator repairs.
- Clogged water supply line
If your fridge has a water dispenser or an ice maker, there’s a chance that the water-supply line has a leak or is bent, causing your refrigerator to leak water from the back onto the kitchen floor. If the water supply line is torn or has a hole, replace it. Be sure to check your water line occasionally for dust, debris, or wear and tear. If you are facing any issues or need help replacing the fridge water supply line, download the OneDios app and put in a request today. It is a one-stop shop for all your refrigerator-related issues and queries.
- Uneven sitting fridge
Water can spill from a drain pan if the fridge isn’t level. A refrigerator is not perfectly level, and the front is somewhat higher for the coolant to flow effectively. If the coolant does not flow properly, water may collect under the fridge because of condensation. Ensure that your refrigerator is on a level surface and isn’t unbalanced. Refer to the user manual and learn how to adjust the level or ask a professional to do it. For any queries regarding fridge placement, feel free to call experts at OneDios.
- Issue with drain pan
One of the most crucial parts of your refrigerator is the drain pan. The drain pan’s primary purpose is to take any extra water from the defrost cycle and send it to your refrigerator’s evaporator coils to evaporate. Dirt might build up in the pan, obstructing the defrost cycle and causing a refrigerator leak. Keep the dirt pan clean and check for holes and wear and tear. If you are uncomfortable cleaning your fridge’s condenser coils or drain pan, download the OneDios app and call a refrigerator service expert.
- A loose door seal
The refrigerator door gasket or seal keeps the door airtight. A freezer door that doesn’t seal properly can lead to leaks if the freezer reaches melting temperatures. Check your door gaskets and seals for cracks and tears and replace them. If you are facing any issues or need help replacing the fridge gasket, download the OneDios app and put in a request today. Ice build-up may also not let the door close properly. Defrost the freezer by removing everything from it.
