Reasons for the fridge flow

Once you notice that your refrigerator has run down and water is collected in it, you should not immediately contact a repair specialist. The main thing and the first thing you should do is to examine the device yourself to find out the source of the leak.

In case the water flows exclusively from under the bottom, the main reasons are several.

There are malfunctions in the

drain system. It is likely that the drain tube has just disconnected or the water tank has broken. You can detect this problem yourself, simply by pushing the unit and looking at its rear wall.

The drainage tube, which has moved away, you can easily put in place yourself. And to change the capacity to collect water, you will be forced to seek help from a specialist.

Important! As a rule, such breakdowns occur after any transportation of equipment or its movement from place to place, during which a drainage tube and a storage tank are accidentally bruised.

The problem lies in the freezer compartment of the refrigerator No Frost

It is possible to detect the presence of this breakdown and visually by carefully inspecting all the walls of the freezer. In case they are covered with a thick layer of ice, the No Frost cooler flows for the reason that the evaporative heater has failed. In this case, you will have to call the master and change the failed part.

For what reasons can water be in the refrigerator?

When the water accumulates in the refrigerator not only from below, but also inside, the reason can be hidden in the following.

The

door seal was worn. In this case, the door of the unit is not closing tight enough, and warm air is continuously leaking inside, so that the equipment starts to function with increased load. This is the cause of the formation of ice, which melts under the influence of the incoming warm air.

As a consequence, a water surplus forms inside, which partially drains through a specialized drain hole, and partially remains inside the refrigerating chamber.

Important! Stop this process by simply replacing the old rubber seal on the device.

A more complicated reason is the failure of the

thermostat. In this case, the compressor stops its work, but the indicator light flashes, the water melts, and fills the refrigerator. You should take out the products lying in them from the cells, wipe the water dry and call the master, who must quickly and easily replace the thermostat.

drain hole hammered This is one more reason why water in the refrigerator accumulates under the drawers. It is also possible to deal with its cleaning in-house. In order to avoid clogging of this drain, you should avoid contact of the packaging material and products with the elements of the "crying" evaporator. Then you will not be forced to ask what to do when the water accumulates in the refrigerator.

How do I clean the refrigerator?

If your refrigerator is a two-chamber refrigerator, it is equipped with a "crying" evaporator, and you notice that water is accumulating under fruit and vegetable boxes, most likely, the reason for this is a clogged drain.

You can eliminate this defect in 90% yourself. To do this:

1. Take a small rubber pear.
2. Collect warm water in it, then squeeze it under strong pressure into the drain hole, which is located inside the refrigerator compartment.

That's it, your problem is solved!

Several recommendations from

If you can not find a solution to this problem yourself, then you will need to call the wizard. Always remember that from the water that flows outwards or accumulates on the surface of the rear wall at the bottom of the unit, very important parts of the refrigerator go out of action:

• Special rushes can cause rusting of pipes through which the coolant passes. At the moment when rust "prostitutes" the pipe, the substance of the refrigerator instantly begins to creep out, which will lead to an immediate and final breakdown of the refrigeration device.
• Regular moisture can start the rusting process of a metal casing that is also capable of deteriorating rapidly enough.

That's why do not ignore the problem if it is stored under the drawers in the refrigerator. At the slightest suspicion of unintended puddles in any compartment of the refrigerator, you must urgently find out and eliminate the problem. This will allow you to significantly extend the life of your refrigeration equipment.
