Water flows from under the refrigerator and accumulates under the drawers.

As a rule, a “flood” in the house is arranged by washing and dishwashers. But sometimes such a nuisance can come from another type of household appliance - refrigerators. Of course, the flood is said loudly. Usually the trouble is limited to a small pool under the equipment or water inside the device. But, nevertheless, such a situation cannot be ignored. Let's see why under the refrigerators Atlant, Shivaki, Indesit and other models, water appears.

Water under the refrigerator is an alarm

If water flows only under the refrigerator

If you see water on the floor near the refrigerator, first make sure that the liquid is leaking from the refrigerator.

If the problem is still in the refrigerator, take a look inside. If the inside of the device is dry, there are no puddles under the drawers and the walls are dry - check the drainage pipe. It can simply move away, because of which water will flow immediately to the floor, and not into a special trough.

You can check your guess and fix the problem by your own efforts. To do this, just move the refrigerator. Carefully inspect the device from the back, find the drain tube. If the tube is loose, insert it into the special hole. On this the problem is solved.

Sometimes a tube or bath is damaged where water escapes. As a rule, this happens after an unsuccessful transportation of equipment or rearrangement. The inside of the device will be dry, and the puddle is usually located strictly centered under the device or closer to its rear.

As in the previous case, to check the guess, you need to put forward the technique and carefully examine its back. Typically, a hole or damage to the fluid collection tray is visible.

Did you see a large layer of hoarfrost and frost on the walls of the freezers with the thawing know frost system? There is a high probability that the evaporator heater is damaged. The formation of snow and ice in the low-temperature chamber.

If a lot of ice has accumulated, time after time, when you open the freezer, the ice melts and flows into the drainage tank. But the trough for collecting the drainage liquid of refrigerators with know frost is not deep and is not intended for collecting such a volume of water. Because of this, the tank overflows, and a puddle appears under the appliance.

Important! To fix the problem, you need to replace the heater. This malfunction is serious and should be addressed by qualified personnel.

If water is everywhere: inside, flows down the door and floor

Drainage channel blockage in the refrigerator

Let’s figure out why there are streams of water running through the door in the refrigerator, and besides this, water can be seen from below under the drawers.

Most likely, the drainage channel is blocked. The channel exit is located on the back wall below. There is such a hole in every refrigerator. It is through it through the channel that excess moisture flows through the drainage tube into the bath.

If water has accumulated under the drawers, clean the drain hole.

Drain hole

The hole may become clogged with crumbs or other small debris. Because of this, moisture will not go away. This is one of the reasons why water in the refrigerator accumulates and does not leave under the drawers. If measures are not taken in a timely manner, more and more liquid will accumulate: water will have nowhere to go, and it will begin to flow into the door seal.

To eliminate blockage, it is not necessary to contact specialists. You can do the cleaning yourself with the help of improvised means.There are several options.

Using a medical syringe

You can clean the drainage channel of the refrigerator with a regular medical bulb

A rubber bulb or syringe can be bought at any pharmacy. Although usually such devices are in every home.

Prepare warm water and fill it with a pear. Insert the syringe nozzle into the drain hole and press firmly on it. Repeat these steps several times if necessary. After carrying out such manipulations, the bath may overflow and water may flow to the floor. Therefore, it is better to monitor the filling of the tank and prudently pour dirty water out of it.

By hand pump

The hand pump will help to overcome big blockages.

The drainage system can simply be purged without using warm water. This will require a manual, car or bicycle pump. In this way, it will be possible to eliminate even the most complex and severe blockages. If desired, two methods can be combined.

Using soft wire or a piece of wire

A soft wire can be used to clean the drainage system.

Make a loop at one end of the wire or wire, and insert the other end into the drain hole. Make progressive movements up and down, periodically scroll the wire. Similar actions must be performed within two minutes.

Important! To check if the system has cleared, draw a little water into the glass and pour it into the gutter, which is located near the drain hole. If done correctly, the water will go quickly. If the water has stagnated, the cleaning procedure must be repeated until the water leaves.

Blockage of the drainage system in the freezer with No Frost defrosting system

In this case, you may notice severe frost and still not frozen water inside the freezer. As in the situation described above, drainage may become clogged in the chamber in which low-temperature freezing occurs. Water accumulates and forms a “fur coat”. At the same time, part of the water that has not yet had time to turn into a solid state flows into the rubber of the door.

The problem is solved by cleaning the drainage drain. True, this is not so simple. The drain hole of the low-temperature chamber is hidden under the housing cover. To access it, you have to unscrew the cover. If you have never encountered disassembling the case, it is better to entrust this matter to the masters. In addition, such repairs will not hit the family budget much.

Door seal worn

In this case, one more symptom will be added to the considered symptom: the refrigerator freezes food, and inside the chambers the temperature rises, which modern models of devices will notify with a characteristic squeak or the red indicator on the control panel.

The old seal can be replaced

Due to the fact that the tightness of the chamber is broken, warm air enters the refrigerator from the outside. The compressor, in an attempt to lower the temperature to the set values, lasts longer than usual. On the walls of the refrigerator you can see ice, and the drainage system is not able to cope with such a volume of water. As a result, water is everywhere.

A similar problem occurs due to a loose fitting door. Adjust the door hinges, check the evenness of the refrigerator using the level.
