Samsung rf4267hars water leak

Many times when you see a pool of water (or one that froze into a sheet of ice), it can often be attributed to condensation or a spill you didn’t notice. The most common place to see water is at the bottom of the compartment, such as below the vegetable or crisper drawers. Leaks can occur outside of the refrigerator, or you can have an auto fill water pitcher that is leaking as well. Depending on where the leak is coming from, we will show you what steps to take to find the cause and hopefully keep it from happening again.

Water Filter Is Leaking Inside

If you find your refrigerator leaking water inside, it’s often due to a filter complication. Here are the most common reasons for a refrigerator leaking water from filter:

• Wrong filter installation
• Filter head is damaged
• Filter housing is cracked

Samsung Refrigerator Leaking Water On Floor

There is nothing more frustrating than having a kitchen floor that’s flooded because of a leaking fridge. If the water is flowing from the fridge onto your floor, here are a few possible reasons:

. Leaking Water Inlet Valve

. Blocked Defrost Drain

. Overflowing Drain Pan

 Leaking Water Inlet Valve

Suppose you’ve purchased a  fridge model that has an ice maker or a water dispenser, that means that there is some plumbing involved with the fridge.

Typically, that means there’s a water inlet somewhere in the back of the refrigerator with piping that supplies water directly to it.

If that water inlet is faulty in any way, water will leak out directly onto your kitchen floor.

Firstly, you’ll need to make sure that the piping is secured tightly to the water inlet. If it’s loose, it could cause water to leak out onto your floor.

Besides that, the problem could be with the water inlet itself. That would require you to replace the water inlet unit entirely.

Blocked Defrost Drain

Unfortunately, the defrost drain can get clogged either with small debris or with ice if the drain itself ends up getting frozen.Cleaning the defrost drain is reasonably easy if you know how to find it. All you’d need to do is flush some hot water through the drain to melt the ice and wash away any debris.

 Overflowing Drain Pan

At the bottom of each fridge is a drain pan. Sometimes called a ‘drip pan’, its job is to catch any water inside so that none of it flows out onto your kitchen floor. Sometimes, though, the flow of water inside is too much for the drip pan to cope with, leading to water on your floor.

Here, you can start by emptying the drip pan manually. But that’s only treating the symptom and not the cause. The cause is typically a clogged defrost drain as discussed above.
