When you notice dripping water from the bottom of your refrigerator, it is better to run a diagnostic. It is obvious the unit works improperly if the temperature inside the fridge is higher than it should be due to the malfunctioning part, clogged system or defective doors. Unfortunately, it is impossible to eliminate the problem before you track the issue for sure. Check the temperature sensor for defects first. The temperature sensor senses the temperature inside the refrigerator and sends information to the electronic control. If the temperature sensor is faulty, the water is going to leak again and again. Vacuum the compressor and condenser coils. If they aren’t cleaned a couple times a year, the refrigerator won’t be efficient. If dirty coils aren’t the problem, check and reset the temperature in the food compartment. It should be between 35 and 40 degrees Fahrenheit. A freezer should be between 0 to 5 degrees Fahrenheit. Some do-it-yourselfers can fix the temperature control if it’s accessible. To find out whether yours is, take the front panel off the control panel. You will see a small oval or cylindrical copper tube with a sensor bulb on one end. (The tube might be a few inches to a couple of feet long, depending on the model and make of the refrigerator.) If you can see all of the tube, you can replace it and fix the control. If it leads into a side wall and hides there, forget it; there’s nothing you can do. We strongly recommend contacting a professional assistant to check and replace defective parts of your unit in order to avoid more serious troubles.
