Every household has a refrigerator. Refrigerators allow people to preserve food for several days. However, because they are electrical equipment that must be plugged in on a continual basis, they are prone to difficulties, the most prevalent of which are water leaks and poor cooling.
Instead of calling a technician to verify the cost, everyone should first determine the cause; if it is one of the problems listed below, it may be swiftly remedied.
Water leaks from the refrigerator section.
Many individuals go to the market to buy big quantities of food, which they will consume gradually during the week. As a result, the refrigerator compartment “struggles” to hold food that has piled up. The problem comes when the refrigerator compartment’s airflow is mistakenly blocked, resulting in delayed chilling.
Not to mention that if those goods are completely cleansed to eliminate filth but not drained before being placed in the refrigerator, water leaks out, contaminating not only the refrigerator but also other foods.
Therefore, the solution is very simple, everyone should note to drain or use paper towels to dry the food before putting it in the refrigerator. Those who are more careful should use plastic wrap or put the food in a zip bag.
Water leaking in the freezer
If everyone pays close attention and notices water pouring from the freezer, you should open the refrigerator right away to see if cramming too much food has mistakenly plugged the ventilation holes, similar to the usual problem in the refrigerator compartment discussed above.
Another reason could be that individuals are careless and do not seal the refrigerator door tightly, or the refrigerator gasket has “degraded” over time and cannot stick anymore, allowing cold air to escape and the ice within to melt. If this is the case, everyone should purchase another gasket to replace it immediately to guarantee that the refrigerator door is always tightly closed.
Water leaking onto the floor from the water tray behind the refrigerator
Water leaking onto the floor might be caused by a damaged water tray behind the refrigerator, a loose or broken water supply pipe. To establish the specific cause, people must approach very near and examine closely. However, before checking, users should unplug the refrigerator with dry hands because there is no power supply to assure safety.
