Why is water coming out of the refrigerator? This is the reason no one notices

 

Finding unexplained water puddles around your refrigerator can be frustrating, but this is a relatively common issue with several potential causes. Understanding what’s behind the leak is key to fixing it and preventing it from happening again.

1. Blocked Defrost Drain

When that happens, the water backs up and leaks out of the fridge instead of draining away properly.
