Refrigerators function by cooling air within a sealed compartment. Condensation is a natural byproduct of this cooling process, and this moisture must be managed. When water accumulates outside the appliance, it indicates a malfunction within one of several key systems.
Addressing unexpected water leakage is essential for preventing damage to flooring and surrounding structures. Prolonged exposure to moisture can foster mold growth, presenting health hazards and necessitating costly remediation. Identifying and rectifying the source of the leak promptly protects property value and ensures a hygienic environment.
