How to fix if there is water leakage in Refrigerator

Last Update date : Feb 02. 2026

Water leakage issue in the Samsung refrigerator could stem from several factors, including incorrect temperature settings, improper placement of the refrigerator, a blocked drain line or chiller tray, the door being left open accidentally for an extended period, or placing hot food inside the fridge.

Precautions: Water conducts electricity, and stepping on it while handling live wires without protection can lead to accidents. To ensure safety, follow these precautions:

  • Unplug the refrigerator from the electrical socket.
  • Turn off the circuit breaker.

You can also follow the below steps to address the water leakage issue in your Samsung refrigerator

1 Check for Placement of refrigerator

  • Always keep the refrigerator away from direct sunlight.
  • Allow sufficient space around the refrigerator for good air flow. Ensure that there is a minimum of 300 mm of free space at the sides, 150mm at the back of the unit and at least 300mm at the top.
  • Do not keep the refrigerator directly in front of an air cooler, under a fan or in a high humidity area.
2 Examine Drain Line and Chiller Tray
  • Locate the drain line and chiller tray (usually at the back or bottom of the fridge).
  • Check for blockages or clogs and clean them if necessary.
3 Check for temperature settings

The proper temperature for the Samsung refrigerator should be set properly. Otherwise, ice may melt inside and cause the water to leak.

4 Check the food & utensils placement
  • Ensure that the food is stored in an organized manner in order to ensure adequate air circulation.
  • Do not place hot food directly inside a refrigerator. Let it cool to room temperature before putting inside.
  • Always keep the food covered with a lid.
  • Use mesh bags to store fruits and vegetables.
