Move the refrigerator out from the wall and look for the location of the leak.
Step 2 Check the side panels and the seals around the door for beads of "sweat." This could indicate a condensation problem.
Step 3 Check the floor. A puddle there could indicate a missing or cracked drip pan, or a leak in the water line that feeds your ice maker.
Step 4 Check for water seeping from the front of the freezer or the refrigerator. This could indicate your defrost drain is plugged or your ice maker is leaking.
Fixing a condensation problem Step 1 Check that the doors shut correctly. Hold each door about halfway open, then let go. If the doors don't shut completely, adjust the screw legs on the front of the refrigerator so the unit tilts back a bit. With adjustable pliers, turn each leg one revolution clockwise. Recheck the doors and, if necessary, repeat the process until they shut securely.
Step 2 Inspect the door gaskets. Look for debris that may keep the doors from shutting. Also check for cracks or gaps in the gaskets that could allow the cold air to seep out. If you find debris, clean the gaskets with warm, soapy water. If you find cracks or gaps, you'll need to replace the gaskets (see How to Fix a Refrigerator That Cools Poorly).
Step 3 If your refrigerator is equipped with a door-frame heater that evaporates condensation, make sure the heater is turned on. The switch should be located with your other refrigerator controls
yes.. costs is about $100.00 for a gasket (bought from an appliance store- add 4-6 hours of frustration trying to get the !@#$%^&* gasket to seat flat against the door frame.. Then call the appliance store.. probably about another 75-100$ to have them do it..
Check for things on the freezer shelves sticking out and contacting one of the door shelves before it can close fully. Sometimes a maladjustment of the door can cause the gasket on the hinge side to stick from friction of the rubber on the metal case of the refrigerator. Try a tiny bit of cooking oil on a paper towel and then wipe down the vertical gasket strip on the hinge side. If friction is the cause this will cause it to close better.
Before performing the above check the condition of the hinge side vertical gasket strip to ensure it's not "bowed" inward from too much friction. That condition may necessitate replacing the freezer gasket.
I have had plenty of luck finding the parts I need. please clarify the part needed becuase alot of parts are used on different manufactured refrigerators. you may have to measure the gasket al the way around to get the proper part needed
If you peel back the gasket a little you will see tiny screws that attach the gasket to your door. Remove the screws and reinstall the new one the same way. I hope this helps you out.
1. Door seal which should be magnetic is faulty.
2. Ice maker caddy (container) has not socketed properly into ice maker rear drive tang.
3. Door stay closed plastic hing pieces are damaged. These are tapered pieces that fit in hinge area that allow door weight to help close and hold door. Some are black in color and some are white. As far as I know they are interchangeable.
