Problem
Refrigerator Leaking Water
Quick answer
Water under or inside a refrigerator most often comes from a clogged defrost drain, a cracked water filter housing, a loose water-line fitting or a faulty inlet valve. Shut off the water supply behind the fridge if the leak is steady and keep the floor dry until a technician arrives.
Common causes
- Clogged defrost drain
- Water filter housing
- Water line or inlet valve
- Cracked drain pan
