Why is My Refrigerator Leaking Water

by Jeff | Jan 16, 2019 | water valve replacement parts

You don’t normally think of your refrigerator as an appliance that would leak water but they sometimes do. Finding the source of the leak takes some investigation but it is relatively simple to do.

Defrost Drain

A very common problem is that the defrost drain could be blocked. The drain has a small opening that is easily clogged by food particles or ice. During the defrost cycle, water could build up and not be able to drain into the pan. The water would then leak out onto the floor. You can clear the drain by pouring hot water over it and using a stiff wire to remove the blockage if there is any.

Drain Pan

Normally the drain pan is not the problem but it can develop a crack and that would allow water to leak. Only a small amount of water usually accumulates in the drain pan and not enough to overflow. This water evaporates, with help from the condenser fan, which blows warm air across the surface of the pan. Do a thorough examination of the drain pan looking for any damage or cracks. If the pan is damaged, replace it.

Ice Maker

The water line connections to the ice maker can sometimes come loose or the seals can crack from age. The plastic hoses can crack, tear or get kinked which would cause pressure at the connection and cause a leak. The water line going to the ice maker is normally on the back, outside of the refrigerator. Check this line and its connections for any signs of moisture. If the ice maker supply line is the problem there will normally be water running or dripping down the line onto the floor. You should tighten all of the connections or replace the water line.

Refrigerator Water Inlet Valve

Water Filter

If your refrigerator has a filtering system the connection between the water filter and the water supply can cause a leak. The filter may have been installed incorrectly, wrong size or wrong model for the refrigerator. It’s also possible that it may be very old and the housing or seals are cracked, therefore allowing water to escape. Remove and replace the filter if you see water running down the outside of the filter and into the interior of the refrigerator. Make certain the filter is the one specifically for your model.

My Washer Leaves The Laundry Soaking Wet

by Jeff | Jan 7, 2019 | Kenmore/Whirlpool washer repair, washing machine replacement parts, water valve replacement parts

If your laundry is dripping wet and very heavy after the final washer cycle is finished, this is a check list that may help you troubleshoot and pin point the problem.

Check the clothes washer drain hose – clogged or bent –

On the back of your washer is a drain hose. Check this to make certain it is not bent, therefore restricting the water from draining out. At the same time you should remove the hose from the drain pump and check to see that the pump and drain hose don’t have any blockages that would be keeping the water from flowing.

Washer drain hose is positioned incorrectly –

Clothes Washer Drain Hose

The drain hose in back of your clothes washer may be either too far down in the drainpipe or not far enough down. This would cause the water to not drain out of the tub, leaving your clothes dripping wet.

Drain filter or coin trap clogged on the clothes washer –

A clothes washer has a debris filter or coin trap which could possibly be blocked causing the washer not to spin dry your clothes The drain filter is on the front bottom of the washer and the coin trap is located behind an access panel. These are filtering devices and can be easily cleaned which will make the water flow when the washer is draining the water out.

The drain pump is clogged or faulty –

The washer drain pump may be clogged with debris or faulty if it will not spin all of the water out of the washer. Check out the inside of the drain hose and the pump ports for debris that may be clogging them. If these are clear, test the drain pump to make certain it is working properly.

Clothes Washer Pump

Wash load may make the tub get out of balance and not spin fast enough –

When loading the washer try to add items of the same size. No blankets or large heavy items with smaller ones. This will get the washer out of balance. Don’t overload your washer or pack clothing in tightly.

Loose or damaged clothes washer belt –

If your washing machine is not spinning your clothes dry it may be the belt, pump or the motor. The belt could be stretched or just worn out. Check the belt or the direct drive system for wear and tear. If the drive belt or direct drive motor coupling is worn, stretched, broken, cracked or damaged in any way, they will need to be replaced.

Washing machine clutch may have gone bad –

Appliance Parts

If your washer is not spinning your clothes dry, it may be that the clutch is about to fail, because the spinning action is not sufficient to remove enough water from your clothes.

Your problem could possibly be the transmission, although this is usually rare.
