If you accidentally see a puddle in the kitchen, then the first thing that comes to mind is hardly the thought that water is flowing in the refrigerator, since the flood usually concerns the work of dishwashers or washing machines. But, as practice shows, there are more and more cases when water flows from the refrigerator. If your refrigerator "bursts into tears," these materials will be useful to you. If your refrigerator continues to freeze, then you should not panic - the problem has not touched important parts of the unit, which means everything is fixable. It is much worse when a puddle on the floor is accompanied by the fact that the refrigerator does not work at all. If everything works, and all you are worried about is water, then you should carefully examine your refrigerator and find out exactly where and how the water pools from the refrigerator. It may not seem ridiculous to you, but the first thing you should do is to make sure 100% that the water flows from under the refrigerator, and not from other household appliances (water heater, boiler). If everything is in order, no one spilled water accidentally, and other household appliances did not break, and the culprit of the flood is the refrigerator, then start checking. If the defrost drain is frozen, the water will overflow the drain trough and drip down to the bottom of the compartment. This water can eventually leak onto the floor. Check the defrost drain to determine if it is clogged or frozen. Samsung Refrigerators have a drainage system to allow the defrosted water to flow to the drain pan located beneath the refrigerator. A refrigerator constantly produces condensation inside its freezer compartment. The liquid that forms drips down a drain pipe into a pan underneath the appliance where it eventually evaporates. A plugged drain pipe throws a kink in this process, causing water to back up and pool on the inside bottom of the fridge. Unclogging the drain prevents water from building up inside the unit and leaking out onto the floor. Unplug the refrigerator/freezer unit.
Remove any food or objects, like a sliding drawer, that are blocking your access to the drain hole. Clear the ice from the drain hole with a screwdriver or a piece of stiff wire.
