Frigidaire refrigerator with water under the crisper drawers and a floor puddle
Slow leaks,
found and dried

Water under the crisper drawers? It is probably the defrost drain.

Refrigerators melt frost several times a day. That water should run through a small defrost drain to a pan under the fridge, where it evaporates. If the drain clogs with food bits or ice, the water backs up inside and collects under the crispers, then drips out the front or bottom. A technician can clear it. If water reached your floor, our appliance leak team dries it out.

Frigidaire leak points

Where Frigidaire refrigerators usually leak

Defrost drain

Clogs send water into the fresh food section and onto the floor.

Drain pan

A cracked or shifted pan under the fridge lets water spill out.

Ice maker line

Plastic water lines crack or slip off behind the fridge.

Water inlet valve

The valve at the back can leak where the line connects.

Water filter

Filters that are not seated or are old can drip.

Door seals

Leaky seals let in warm air, creating extra frost and water.

Second fridges

The garage and basement fridge problem

Many Kirkland homes have a second Frigidaire in the garage or basement. They often leak unnoticed.

BasementLeaks soak into carpetCarpet pad and subfloor

Old fridge? Second fridges are often older units with original plastic water lines. Swapping to braided steel is cheap insurance.

Our cleanup

What we do after a Frigidaire leak

Slow fridge leaks are tricky because the water has had time to spread. We start by finding how far it went.

Map the damage

Moisture meters and thermal imaging check the floor, subfloor, nearby cabinets and the wall behind the fridge.

Dry what can be saved

Vinyl, laminate and hardwood each dry differently. We lift a few planks if water is trapped below, and use structural drying equipment.

Check for mold

Water that sat for weeks may have started mold under the fridge or in cabinets. Our mold inspection confirms it, and we treat it if needed.

Repairs

Damaged flooring, baseboards or cabinet bases are restored once everything is dry.

Prevention

Keep your Frigidaire from leaking

  • Keep the defrost drain clear; a tech can flush it with warm water.

  • Make sure the fridge is slightly tilted back so doors close and water drains.

  • Swap plastic ice maker lines for braided steel.

  • Replace the water filter on schedule.

  • Check behind second fridges every few months.

  • Put a leak sensor beside garage and basement fridges.

FAQs

Frigidaire refrigerator leak questions

Why is my Frigidaire leaking water inside?

The most common cause is a clogged defrost drain. Melted frost backs up and collects under the crisper drawers instead of draining to the pan.

Why is my Frigidaire leaking on the floor?

Common causes include a cracked drain pan, a loose or cracked ice maker line, a leaking water inlet valve, or overflow from a clogged defrost drain.

Can a garage fridge cause water damage?

Yes. Second fridges in garages and basements often leak slowly and go unnoticed, damaging drywall, carpet and subfloor.

Who makes Frigidaire?

Frigidaire is owned by Electrolux. Some older Kenmore appliances were also built by Electrolux.

Will insurance cover a slow fridge leak?

Sudden leaks are often covered. Damage from a slow leak over a long time may be excluded. We document what we find for your claim.

Do you repair Frigidaire refrigerators?

No. We handle water damage only. An appliance technician repairs the fridge.
