Possible fault areas
- Blocked defrost drain
- Misaligned drip tray
- Leaking water-supply line
- Door left ajar causing excess frost
The order does not confirm a failed part. Different causes can create the same symptom.
Water under refrigerator
A puddle may come from the defrost drain, drip tray, ice maker or water supply.
Safety rule: stop when there is smoke, sparking, a burning smell, electric-shock signs, an active leak, cracked hob glass or suspected gas. Disconnect only when it is safe to do so.
Safe checks
- Dry the floor and see whether water returns
- Check door closure and gasket
- If connected to water, shut off the supply during inspection
DIY diagnostic boundary: If water is near the outlet, do not touch the plug with wet hands; isolate the circuit safely.
