If you suspect that your refrigerator’s water supply lines are blocked or frozen you should unplug it. You also need to make sure the shut-off valve on the refrigerator is closed. Check the water supply line to make sure there are no tears or breaks. If the line is broken or torn, it should be repaired. If the clog is not ice-like, contact a professional refrigerator technician.
Examine the drain to determine if it is blocked. Take out any obstructions. Any obstructions further down in the tube can be removed with hot water. The water may have leaked out of the drain pan located at the bottom. Clean the drain pan. You can now clean the drain pan with warm, soapy water. Do not use abrasives. The mild bleach solution 1:10 bleach to warmwater can be used if your drain pan has become stale or has moldy spots. Before you replace the drain pan, make sure it is thoroughly rinsed and dried. Is your refrigerator noisy? Yes, refrigerators do make sounds. It is normal for refrigerators to make sounds like ice clattering inside the storage container and refrigerant hissing over lines. Even refrigerators with newer models can make sounds.
Are you concerned about water on the floor of your kitchen? Is there water on the floor? Leaky refrigerators can usually be fixed easily as there are only three possible causes: the door gaskets and the drain pan. If the door gaskets are too soft or rubber-like, they could leak water from the bottom. Use warm soapy water to clean the seal. If that fails, then replace the door gaskets completely.
