Have you noticed water in/under the refrigerator? Check all drainage tubing joints immediately to make sure none of them has moved. Call the expert who will tell you how to do this, and you may be able to fix this problem yourself. Occasionally, the water in the refrigerator may appear due to an overflow in the drain container, or it has shifted so water leaks. You can fix this issue yourself. But it is also possible that the container is broken. To replace a damaged container with a new one, call the technician. Perhaps, the water in the refrigerator appears accidentally - you could place food too close to the evaporator. Try to move the food away from the evaporator. You can also easily eliminate the cause of the appearance of water in the refrigerator on your own if the drain pipe is clogged. In this situation, clean the drain line and then rinse it. Unfortunately, your Frigidaire refrigerator may start leaking because some parts are defective. A defrost bimetal thermostat works separately from the refrigerator or freezer. This device, which turns on several times a day, senses the temperature of cooling coils. When these evaporator coils become so cold that frost starts to build up, the defrost bimetal thermostat facilitates the melting away of any frost that has formed on the cooling coil. The defrost bimetal thermostat does this by activating a hot gas valve or an electrical heating element that raises the temperature near the evaporator, which then melts the frost that has formed. The melting away of frost buildup protects your refrigerator and freezer's evaporators from overheating during the defrost cycle. The bimetal thermostat and defrost heater work in tandem. When the frost is all melted, the bimetal thermostat will sense the temperature increase and trigger the defrost heater to turn off. If your refrigerator or freezer bimetal thermostat is failing, the thermostat may not be able to correctly sense the temperature of the coils. That is why you experience leaking and frost buildup. It is required to call a professional refrigerator repair assistant if cleaning the drain line didn’t work.
