Sub-Zero Leaking Water Onto Floor
Leaking Water Onto Floor is usually one of a small number of specific, repairable causes — here's what to check and when it's worth calling a professional.
Common Causes
Soft water working on the fill line rather than in it
Hetch Hetchy arrives at 1 to 3 grains per gallon and lays down no protective film, so copper joints here weep from the inside out long before anything scales.
A clogged defrost drain
Melted frost backs up and overflows into the cabinet or onto the floor instead of draining away normally.
A worn or torn door gasket
Lets humid air in that condenses inside the cabinet or around the door frame.
