Appliance Leaks Can Cause Damage
2/1/2021 (Permalink)
If you find water on your floor in the kitchen and cannot find a leak at the sink or dishwasher the next place to check is the refrigerator. More than likely the water-line connections to the ice maker is the source.
The water-line can come loose, the seals can age and crack, or the plastic hoses can tear or get kinked. Depending on the circumstances you may have to simply tighten the connections. If you continue to see water dripping down the line to the floor both the water line and connectors may have to be replaced.
Other places on your refrigerator to check is a blocked defrost drain, a poor connection between the water filter and the water supply, or the drain pan may have cracks or damage.
