GE Refrigerator water collecting at bottom, ice forming. Model GFSF6KEXBBB


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hello everybody,

  The fridge in question is about 14 years old, aside from the ice maker not working for some time it's been fine since we bought it.  It's a bottom freezer French door type.  A month or so ago I noticed water on the floor near the front corners of the machine.  Traced it up to a large pool of water that had collected, and mostly frozen, on the bottom of the refrigerator section.  The fridge has a full width slide out deli tray, the water is all collected under that.  Some water in the tray itself near the back as well. 

  I broke up all the ice and cleaned up the water and put it back together.  Also turned off the ice maker and shut off the water supply in case that has anything to do with it.  Apparently it doesn't because the water and ice are back.  Not leaking onto the floor yet but it seems inevitable.  I don't notice moisture anywhere else.  Also FWIW this morning it was making some odd clunking type sounds I don't think I've heard before. That seems to have stopped though. 

I assume this is a problem with the condensate collecting here instead of draining away or evaporating correctly.  Any tips on how to troubleshoot/fix it on this particular model? 

Thanks,

jeff

Drain line has a little nipple at the end that gets gummed up. Can be accessed from the back behind the lower panel

This looks like a Samsung made model. You can look up the drain fix kit they make for this. Has a probe, tubes, and insulation.
