Refrigerator Leak Cleanup in Shelby, Lincolnton, Gastonia & Surrounding Areas

Why Refrigerator Leaks?

Refrigerators may leak for many reasons. However, a few common reasons for refrigerator leaks are given below:

• Clogged or Frozen Defrost Drain: If water appears on the floor in front of the refrigerator once or twice a day, it means the defrost drain of your refrigerator is clogged. A refrigerator with defrosting coils melts the ice built in the freezer by heating up. It allows the water to seep into the defrost drain. The water is already close to freezing temperature when it reaches the tip of the drain and eventually the drain freezes. As a result, water overflows the drain and appears on the bottom of the compartment.

• Damaged or Loose Water Lines: If the water supply line behind the refrigerator is damaged, slightly loose, or pulled out, then water leaks through it.

• Damaged Water Tank Assembly & Water Filter Housing: If the water tank assembly or water filter is damaged it can cause leaks. If you've recently installed a new filter, then an unstable connection can cause water leakage too.

• Damaged or Rusted Drain Pan: Drain pan’s purpose is to catch any water seeping down and then the heat from the refrigerator compressor evaporates the water. But, if the drain pan is damaged, rusted, or dirty it gets clogged and water overflows and leaks onto the floor.
