Water appears under the cabinet, inside drawers or near the door.
Condensation, a blocked drain and a damaged supply connection need different remedies.
A model-specific approach
Trace the water source and inspect the defrost drain, collection tray, door seal and water connections if fitted.
The exact model and operating conditions determine which tests apply. These are possible inspection directions, not a list of components that must be changed.
Note where water first appears and whether the appliance has a dispenser or ice-maker connection.
Record the timing, previous work and accessible model label. Do not remove covers or handle live, refrigerant or pressurised components to obtain information.
Completion
The source should be checked again during the relevant drain or water-supply operation.
Discuss which operation was checked and what to observe during normal use. Keep the service date, model and work description if you need to report the symptom again.
