Quick answer: Water can come from drainage, condensation, ice-maker supply, door sealing or defrost-related problems.
Where is the water coming from?
Note whether water is inside the cabinet, under the appliance, near the ice maker, or around the door. Location helps narrow the diagnosis.
Possible causes
- Blocked or restricted drain
- Condensation caused by door sealing
- Water-supply line or valve leak
- Ice-maker fill problem
- Excess frost melting during defrost
Water near cabinetry or flooring should be addressed promptly to limit secondary damage.
