It sometimes happens that a refrigerator can become a source of water. First, let's put the panic aside! Since the refrigerator is freezing, then the problem is not so serious. It would be much worse if a puddle had formed because the refrigerator stopped working altogether. Next, we proceed to a close inspection of the refrigerator: you need to determine where the water is. The most common place to see water is at the bottom of the compartment, such as below the vegetable or crisper drawers. Leaks can occur outside of the refrigerator, or you can have an auto fill water pitcher that is leaking as well. Depending on where the leak is coming from, we will show you what steps to take to find the cause and hopefully keep it from happening again. A correctly "leveled" refrigerator is not level from front to back. Refrigerators are designed to tilt back slightly, which helps the doors to close by themselves, and helps with draining. A quick way to check your level is to look under the front. If the wheels for moving the refrigerator are still touching the floor, the front is not high enough. Clear the water away. The purpose of this is to confirm that it's actually a leak. Possible other causes could be:
- Condensation (such as if the fridge was recently turned off or without power)
- A spill or a leak from one of the food items in the refrigerator
Check back about 2-3 hours later to verify if the leak returns. If it does, visit our website to request service. Some of the complex replacements or repairs are always best left up to the professionals. In this case, contact a local refrigeration expert near you and schedule an appointment. Your Samsung refrigerator should last you a long time. And every part that makes it all work must be in good working order. Don’t hesitate to get professional assistance.
