LG Kimchi Refrigerator - Troubleshooting Water Leaking

  • Troubleshooting

Try this

This usually occurs in the summer when it is hot and humid. If the cooling performance is normal, then just gently wipe the condensation off.
If the door is not completely closed or if the door seal (rubber gasket) is not firmly attached, then hot air will enter inside and form condensation.
Check if the door is closed properly and if there is residue on the gasket, wipe the gasket clean.
When [Vegetable/Fruit Storage] is enabled, the internal temperature of the refrigerator is maintained around 37.4℉(3℃). This could cause frost on the inner walls to melt and drip to the fridge base. Use a dry cloth to wipe the puddle of water.

When water from melted ice(frost) inside the refrigerator flows out to the front

➔ If the drain hole inside the fridge is blocked by ice or debris, water from melted ice/frost cannot flow into the drain pan and instead leaks out to the front of the fridge.
The drain hole inside the refrigerator is clogged with ice or debris. Water melted from ice(frost) cannot flow into the drain pan, and so leaks out to the fridge front.
1. If you have an extra refrigerator, store the food in there temporarily.
2. Unplug the power cord of the product.
3. Keep the freezer/refrigeration compartment doors wide open. In the summer frost melts in a day and in the winter it takes about three days.
4. Melted frost will flow out into the drain pan.
The freezer/refrigerator doors are wide open after disconnecting the power cord
※ If you are worried about the food inside the refrigerator, we recommend requesting a service visit for inspection.
