A leaking refrigerator isn’t just annoying — it can cause floor damage, mold, higher utility bills, and spoiled food. At Professional Appliance Repair, we handle refrigerator leak repairs every week across Pinellas, Pasco, and Hillsborough counties.
The key is knowing where to look. Let’s break down the 5 most common spots where your fridge could be leaking — and what you can do about it 👇
1. 🚿 Clogged or Frozen Defrost Drain
The #1 cause of refrigerator leaks. When this drain gets blocked by food debris or ice, water from defrost cycles backs up and spills out under your fridge.
✅ How we fix it: We clear the drain, flush it, and if needed, replace the defrost drain heater to prevent future freezes.
2. 💧 Leaky Water Inlet Valve
This valve controls water going to your ice maker or water dispenser. If cracked, loose, or worn out, you’ll get puddles around or behind the unit.
✅ Our fix: We inspect valve connections, test pressure, and replace damaged valves using OEM parts.
3. 🧊 Cracked Drain Pan
Your fridge uses a small pan under the unit to collect and evaporate condensation. A cracked or misaligned pan leads to slow but consistent leaks.
✅ What we do: We inspect and replace the pan — and clean out dust buildup that can cause overheating.
4. 🚰 Loose or Split Water Line
Your refrigerator's water line can loosen or degrade over time, especially near the back wall. This is common with Samsung, Whirlpool, GE, and Frigidaire models.
✅ We fix this fast: We replace worn lines and secure fittings to prevent hidden leaks behind the fridge or under the flooring.
5. 🌬️ Faulty Door Seals (Gaskets)
Not technically a “leak,” but worn-out seals can cause condensation buildup inside the fridge, which can pool into water.
✅ Our solution: We test and replace the gaskets to improve energy efficiency and prevent internal water buildup.
