Re: Fridge Leaking Water

Dave, many thanks for the help, I’m begining to get a picture of what is happening.
The fridge is only 6 months old and still under Warrenty, unfortunately I’m having a bit of a wrangle with Magnet Kitchens over various other issues concerning the kitchen and the builder who fitted it , whirlpool have told me it will cost £70 callout charge if it is a fitting problem, magnet who will have to pay for the swollen base units if it is proved to be a problem with the fridge don’t want to know and the builder says it is nothing to do with him!!!
I’m just trying to get my facts right before I call anyone else in.

Could it be a fitting problem, i.e. if the door is not closing quiet enough ( The false door front does seem to be about 1mm out at the top) or because the kitchen floor is stone and it’s against an outside wall and too cold ??

Re: Fridge Leaking Water

Dave. Thanks for your quick reply.
At the base of the unit , behind a black cover and next to a fan on the right hand side (looking from the front) is an area which is where I assume the water after it has defrosted collects and is meant to evaporate from ???
Sorry about tyhe crude description, I’m an electronics engineer but don’t have any experience with fridges…
I have put a quick sketch at the following URL to see if it explains any better.
