Leaking at the Bottom - Bottom Freezer Refrigerator

Is the water supply line cracked or damaged?

If water appears to be leaking from the refrigerator, ensure that the water line from the household water supply to the refrigerator is not damaged or cracked.

Is the tubing firmly inserted into all fittings/connections? 

Check all accessible connections, including the connection at the supply valve and the connection point of the supply tubing on the back of the refrigerator. Ensure the tubing is firmly inserted into all fittings, and that all fittings are securely tightened. 

Is the saddle valve or shut-off valve leaking? 

Check all connections at the supply, saddle, or shut-off valve style, and ensure the tubing is firmly inserted into all fittings and all fittings are tightened. 

Is the water filter damaged?

• Remove the filter and inspect it for cracks or damage.
• Be sure the O-rings are still in place.
• If the filter is cracked or damaged, replace it with a new one.

Does the water filter need to be replaced?

It is recommended that the water filter be replaced every six months, when the indicator light comes on, or as needed.  Chemicals, minerals, and other impurities in the water can degrade the water filter housing over time, leading to leaks.

If the filter is leaking and you cannot replace it immediately, leave the filter out so the water system is in bypass mode. With the filter removed, the water system will continue to operate.
