Refrigerator leaking water

01 - Clogged or Freezing Defrost Drain
If the defrost drain is frozen, the water will overflow the drain trough and drip down to the bottom of the compartment. This water can eventually leak onto the floor. Check the defrost drain to determine if it is clogged or frozen. If the defrost drain is frozen, thaw the ice. In addition, flush the drain with hot water to ensure that it is clear of debris.
02 - Refrigerator Door Gasket
If a refrigerator is leaking water outside the appliance, it's possible a door gasket is damaged. A door gasket that does not form a proper seal to the refrigerator frame will allow warm humid air to enter the refrigerator or freezer compartment. This can create condensation which can then leak out the gap between the gasket and frame onto the floor. You should inspect the door gasket for any tears or twists and replace the gasket if necessary.

03 - Refrigerator Water Tank Assembly
Inspect the water tank assembly for any leaks. Be aware that the leak may be very small and hard to find. If you discover a leak, replace the water tank. Do not attempt to repair the water tank—glue will not stick properly to the plastic of the tank.
