2. Water leaking from the freezer compartment
In this case, check to see if overloading the food accidentally blocks the ventilation of the freezer compartment. Another reason could be that you are careless in closing the freezer door. Believe it or not, but a freezer door that doesn’t seal properly can lead to leaks, should the freezer reach melting temperatures. Check your door gaskets and seals for cracks and tears. If you find them, you’ll need to replace the gaskets. At the same time, you should also place food in the freezer neatly.
3. Check Defrost Drain
The defrost drain is typically located at the back of a freezer and can get easily blocked due to having a stuffed freezer. When that drain gets blocked, the coils start working harder and that can lead to condensation building up. That condensation will fall to the floor and form a puddle. To remedy it, rearrange your freezer so the drain is no longer blocked. Then flush warm water through the drain to clear any clogs.
4. Inspect Ice Maker
The inlet tube that goes to the ice maker can also be a source for a leaky fridge if it becomes clogged. First, unplug your fridge before removing the ice maker. To take a look at it, unscrew the screws, then unplug the wiring harness. Grab a hairdryer to melt any ice in the inlet tube until water stops dripping from the tube.
