In detail

01

Where the water comes from

Moisture condenses on cold surfaces while running. In No Frost, ice on the evaporator melts on cycle — water should drain through the defrost tube to the compressor pan.

A clogged tube sends water into the compartment and onto the floor. Drip models drain down the rear wall; damage or overload causes leaks.

A worn door gasket lets warm air in — more condensation inside and out.

02

Cause 1: No Frost drain clog

The most common leak in modern fridges. The tube from evaporator to pan blocks with mold, food debris or ice after bad defrost.

Signs: water in lower drawers, ice on freezer rear wall, drips when opening.

We clear the drain and test the defrost heater. From 200,000 UZS. Heater replacement from ~200,000 UZS.

03

Cause 2: faulty defrost system

If the defrost heater or timer fails, the evaporator ices up thick. On melt, water overflows.

Manual defrost helps temporarily — ice returns in days without repair.

On-site multimeter diagnostics. Part of refrigerator repair — price before work starts.

04

Cause 3: gasket and overloading

A weak gasket lets warm air in — condensation drips. Paper test: if paper pulls out easily, the seal is bad.

Overfilled shelves prevent the door closing fully.

Gasket replacement from ~200,000–250,000 UZS depending on Samsung, LG, Bosch, Indesit, Beko, Haier, Artel model.

05

What to do before the technician arrives

  • Unplug if water reaches wiring or outlet.
  • Remove food, wipe water, place a container.
  • Don't chip ice with a knife on the rear wall — you can pierce the evaporator.
  • Check rear ventilation grille isn't blocked.
