We tell why under the refrigerator can form a puddle and what to do in case of leakage.
The refrigeration device in the kitchen is hardly the main unit of this room, because it is in it that we store food, look into it, when you want to eat or just boring. However, his breakdown can become an unpleasant surprise, as it threatens not only the lies of all products, but also to the cheapest repair or at all the purchase of new technology. We tell what can happen, why the refrigerator flows and how to solve this problem.

Possible causes of the appearance of puddles under the refrigerator
The reasons why water flows from under the refrigerator can be completely different. To begin with, it is worth checking whether the refrigerator is really to blame in leakage. Perhaps it's not about it.
- If your kitchen is a washing machine, check it first. Since according to statistics, the washing device breaks more often. Also check the dishwasher.
- If the refrigerator stands next to the battery, then pay attention to it: it can also leak.
- Inspect the contents of the camera: whether there are a box with milk, juice or just water that you store inside.
- It happens that the apartment turns off the electricity without warning, during the day you can not notice its absence. The same problem may be if the plug knocked in your apartment.
- The problem may be in the outlet to which the technique is connected. Perhaps she broke, or the plug into it is not completely inserted.
- Another reason can be to flow plumbers. It can not be noticed immediately, especially if the siphon is hidden in the depths of the cabinet and forced by different things: a garbage bucket, household chemicals and other accessories.
If none of the listed items turned out to be a reason, then the problem should be sought elsewhere.
What to check inside the refrigerator
1. Drainage plums
If the refrigerator flows below, the reason for this may be in the malfunction of the drainage system. Usually condensate flows into a special reservoir. If failed, the water will turn out to be on the floor. It may happen if you have anxiously carried a technique or moved it from place to place.Characteristic features of a malfunction: inside the chambers dry, in the freezer on the walls there is no thorough ice, and a puddle appears under the unit. Clean the breakdown is easy: it is enough to check the tube behind. Connect it if it moves.
2. Reservoir
In the event of a breakdown of the container for collecting fluid, it is difficult to establish work a little more complicated, since in this case you have to access the service. It is possible to determine the defect as follows: inside, as in the previous paragraph, everything is dry, leaking and accumulate liquid is easily detected from behind the device and under it. Water will be much larger than when driving drainage drainage. Close to the container for collecting fluid, most likely, a crack or other damage is detected there. Therefore, you will have to fully change the tank.
3. NO Frost System
The NO Frost system (NOU Frost) is a new principle of modern devices. Thanks to this system, inside the chambers does not merge, and the products stored inside are cooled with dry ice. However, the breakdown of such aggregates is not uncommon, since not everyone knows how to properly care for the system and that it also requires periodic defrosting.
Often it breaks the heater of the evaporator. The reason for this is the usual disorders in the work. Therefore, there is much more fluid inside. There is a worth of ice, which when opening the door begins to melt. The container for collecting fluid is not designed for such a quantity of water, so it is overflowing and begins to leak.
Not only the liquid under the refrigeration unit, but also a large amount of land and snow in the chambers speaks about breakdown. In this case, the answer to the question is what to do if the refrigerator flows inside, simple: only professionals in the workshop will help to get rid of the problem.
4. Drainage holes
If you find water in front of the refrigerator, check it out inside the camera: it is assembled under the boxes and flows along their front walls. It is also possible to form ice around the door. Most likely, the problem is in a drainage plum in the freezer: because of it, the fluid does not leave and penetrate the refrigeration chamber. Often the blockage is located deep inside and get rid of it on its own quite difficult. It is better to contact this problem in the service: they will determine why the refrigerator flows inside, and eliminate the problem.
Also clogged can also open the hole of the camera. The reason can serve crumbs from food that scored drain. In this case, you can try to eliminate the problem yourself. The drain hole is enough to simply clean. To do this, use a large syringe or fringe. Fill them with conventional warm water, enter the tip of the device into the hole and confidently release the fluid. A severe jet will help to remove the blockage.
5. Door
It happens that the problem is in the poor fit of the door in the corpus. In this case, warm air penetrates inside the chambers, forcing the compressor to work more and cool the products is stronger. Therefore, ice and snow is formed on the walls. But from the permeable heat, it melts and flows down the walls, forming puddles. In this case, it will help either replace the seals, due to which the door is poorly closed, or the loop adjustment.
6. Temperature regulator
If your device stopped frosting products, it means that the compressor broke. This malfunction is difficult to confuse with others: light bulbs stop working inside, the temperature approaches the room and the bottom of the liquid appears at the bottom. Unfortunately, in this case, only a master and repair service can help.
7. Freon
The cooling composition in the refrigerator is called freon. It is it that affects the temperature in the chambers, and on the device it moves the compressor. If the system is faulty, the freon can extort. This is due to the damage to the contour or garbage getting into it.
If the temperature in the chambers increased the temperature, it means that this is the leakage of freon, not condensate. The master will be able to eliminate the problem: he will replace freon and eliminate the fault.
