Water pooling under or inside your refrigerator usually points to a clogged defrost drain, a cracked water inlet valve, or a damaged drain pan. Left unfixed, leaks cause floor damage and mold. Our Gainesville-area technicians identify the source and repair it — often during the same visit — so you don't have to keep mopping up.
Ice or debris blocks the drain tube, causing water to back up and leak onto the floor. This is the most common cause of fridge leaks.
A cracked or worn valve leaks water at the connection point. You may notice water near the back of the fridge.
The drain pan under the fridge catches condensation. If cracked, water pools on the floor instead of evaporating.
A loose or damaged water line to the ice maker can drip steadily, creating puddles behind the fridge.
Try these before calling for service — they may resolve a simple issue.
Check for ice buildup in the freezer floor near the back — a clogged defrost drain
Inspect the water line connection behind the fridge for drips
Pull the fridge out and look at the drain pan underneath for cracks
Check if the fridge is level — an unlevel fridge can cause water to overflow the drain pan
