Hello, this sounds like you have a blockage in the drain tube, remove panel back of freezer..you may see ice build up...melt ice with hair dryer/heat gun...you will see a pan below evaporator...melt ice in pan...dry water up in pan with paper towel...now you should see a hole in pan that leads to drain tube...pour some hot water in pan..wait a couple minutes..mop up water and repeat this step 2-3 times....once you have done this find some flexible curatain wire or electrical wire..poke down the hole until you see the water drain..now it is clear..put back panel back and you are good to go. The reason you see water in the Freezer is because the water has been leaking into the freezer instead of running into the drain hole...If you need any further assistance please feel free to comment again. good luck! P.s Please don't forget to rate my solution thanks! Mike.

USUALLY AT THE BACK BOTTOM OF FRIDGE OR IN THE FRONT AT BOTTOM. U MAY HAVE TO SNAP OFF THE COVER TO GET TO IT

You most likely have a clogged defrost drain tube in the freezer, this diverts water through the damper into the fridge section in units with the freezer on top... Remove the back wall of the freezer and look beneath the tubing and you will see an ice pad... Use a turkey baster and warm water to reveal the drain hole, then force warm water down it until it is clear... Have some towels handy. Whirlpool Refrigerator Drain Strap 819043

It sounds like the unit is defrosting, but the drain for the water from the melted ice is plugged. Check that before calling a repairman.

Pull the refrigerator out from the wall so that you can get behind it. Make sure that the faucet is turned on. (You might to desonect the fitting from the faucet to make sure that water is coming thru the faucet.) Assuming there's water there, follow the water line to the fridge, checking for any kinks that might stop water from flowing. There may be a panel down below that needs to be removed. Check the connection to the fridge. there might be a shut-off valve there. Make sure that's turned ON. Most fridges have the water line exposed on the back of the fridge. Follow the line , again checking for any kinks. Now the line goes inside the freezer. Make sure the connection is secure. Now, on most ice makers there is a box on the front of the icemaker that's removable. Inside is the switch that varies the size of the cubes. There also might be an on/off switch. Make sure it's on. That's it from me. Good Luck!

Had the same problem once. I'm assuming all of the water connections have been made properly. Often the water line delivering the water will freeze just inside the freezer. .Pull the unit away from the wall and follow the line into the unit. Use a hair dryer to defrost the line.

No, This is normal. As the freezer gets cold it also dehumidifies the air in the freezer. There is a drain tube in the bottom of the freezer that directs the water into the basin, where it will evaporate. You should wash the basin every six months and add a little bleach (1/4 cup) when you reinstall the tray. This keeps it disinfected and odorless.

The cold control needs replacing. Thats the knob with the numbers that turn the Ref OFF and ON.
What I do is call my local Appliance Parts Store with my model no. They are extremely helpful .
Get freezer and ref thermometer. Ref is probably too cold.
Freezer should be 0 to 10 degrees. Ref 33 to 35

WATER SPLASHING IN FREEZER AT ICEMAKER
THE FILL TUBE IN BACK OF REFRIGERATOR CAN SLIP
AGAINST THE FILL RESERVOIR CAUSING A PARTIAL BLOCKAGE
OR BECOME CLOGGED WITH ICE.
REMOVE THE ICEMAKER AND INSPECT THE FILL TUBE.
RUN WATER IN TUBE TO ELININATE BLOCKAGE AND CHECK
TEMP IN FREEZER. IF TEMP IS BELOW 0 DEGREES, THATS
OVERKILL AND USUALLY A WASTE OF ELECTRICITY TO KEEP IT THAT COLD, NOT TO MENTION THE FILL TUBE FREEZING UP

Sorry to hear about your problem.

Sounds like you have a defrost issue. Hence your unit is not defrosting. All of this apply's if your freezer side has ice on it. If not. you have other issues, this does sound funny, but this is why your refrigerator side is warm, or not cooling.

Here is a list of some things that can go wrong.
1. Defective heat coil
2. Defective defrost timer
3. Defective defrost sensor
4. Defective Fan
5. Defective compartment inlet damper (on some models)

You should call a service company to resolve your issue.

Since I tried to help you, Please help me and Rate/Vote on the response. Thanks

Hi,
The clunking is because the compressor has a broken mount and it clunks when it shuts off... this will eventually cause bigger problems, but probably you will need to replace the compressor to fix it...even so just check that a bolt did not come loose and that it may be a simple fix...

Hi, If you have a gas dryer.
The most common problem with a gas and no heat is the ignitor going bad...

There is a water pan or drain pan that holds the defrost water. After a while the heat dissapates the water so it should be dry.
It is located underneath the frig. Remove the grill on the front bottom and with a flashlight you should find it. Its either on the left or the right, since you did not provide the model number.

Your water valve is bad or the ice maker itself is bad.
Start with the water valve. Im not familer with inglis but this should help. find your water supply line frome the wall to the refrigerator, this should lead you to the water valve. Unplug the machine and then unplug the wires that are conected to the water valve. now you can check to see if the water stoped. (( of course the water has to be turned back on if you shut it off ))

If you still have water coming in then the valve is stuck open and will need to be replaced.

If the water quit coming in the fill tube then the ice maker is bad and will need to be replaced.

Had the same problem. Chances are that the water has frozen in the supply tube, not allowing water into the maker. you will need to unplug and thaw out your fridge entirely to thaw it out. I used a hair dryer pointed at the filler tube to defrost it.

Your evaporator coils frost up in normal use and every eight hours or so the entire unit shuts down and the defrost heater comes on to melt the frost. This cycle last about 20 minutes. The melted frost drips into a drain pan and through a drain tube to the drain tray under the freezer/refrigerator where it's evaporated by the condenser fan.


Your drain tube may be stopped up with ice at the upper end because it drains too slow because it's stopped up at the lower end in the evaporator pan under the unit at the floor. It can get dust and mold in it. Once you get the ice out at the top a little pressure with a turkey baster will usually clear it out. Flushing it out with hot water and clorox may help.
Make sure it drains quick enough to prevent refreezing. . The drain should be located below the evaporator coils on the lower back of the freezer.

Hi,
The quick answer is to turn the water off to the refrigerator so it quits making until you get it fixed.
If your fridge has the control boards in each side of the freezer cabinet that controls the icemaker, then you have a failed board.
If you have a standard icemaker with the metal shutoff arm then you have a failed motor module in the icemaker.
You can remove the icemaker and unplug the wiring connector from it so you can leave the water on to the dispenser

Thank You for using Fixya.com

Hi, You will need to unplug the defrost drain hole located inside the freezer section under the evaporator coil. Remove the rear panel in the freezer and you can get to the drain. Please let me know if this helps you or if I can assist you further.
