Sub-Zero Water Line Leaking Behind Unit
Water Line Leaking Behind Unit is usually one of a small number of specific, repairable causes — here's what to check and when it's worth calling a professional.
Common Causes
Water running in an empty house
A slow leak in an occupied home is noticed in a day; in a seasonal property it runs for a season, and the damage usually exceeds the repair.
A clogged defrost drain
Melted frost backs up and overflows into the cabinet or onto the floor instead of draining away normally.
A worn or torn door gasket
Lets humid air in that condenses inside the cabinet or around the door frame.
