Maytag Whirlpool Refrigerator Leaking Water into Freezer and Floor - Repair
We had noticed that there was water accumulating under our refrigerator. an inspection further showed that the bottom of the freezer was completely covered with ice, an increased fog was present inside both compartments, and mold was appearing on the seals.
As the unit is only a couple of years old, rather than needlessly spending thousands on a new one, all it really required was a little maintenance to bring it back into order.
Naturally, its good to prepare for this, emptying the freezer into coolers (or someone else's freezer) as I have chosen to inspect the rear panel and to an express defrost. We can see in the video the large mass of ice and water dripping from the back panel.
The refrigerator is powered down, it might be a good idea to unplug it too. The plastic tray comes out first, followed by the outer door with four mounting screws. The shelf has a process to remove which is explained in detail in the video for its removal.
With that removed, the ice breaking begins, followed by the removal of the two plastic molding pieces. The one on the left has a sensor attached.
All of the screws are then removed and then the panel is carefully taken out. We see everything is completely frozen over. We let this melt and go around back.
The back panel is removed to expose the funnel and pipe. This requires a few electrical connector and grommet connections. As I pull out the dirt and dust you can hear the calk mass fall into the tray.
We discovered though that it is frozen solid several inches, the boss decided that the hair dryer will be used to melt the channel. Turns out the drain was completely hidden. When it melted, everything drained all at once.
Back in the fridge, the veins are all straightened and the rear cover is put back on. The sensor requires special attention as the molding is reapplied. The shelves, draw and door is then reinstalled.
In the back it is discovered that the pan has a crack during cleaning and it is repaired with epoxy and tested. Everything else in back is cleaned including the fan.
The back cover is put on for monitoring and waiting to see if condensation collects in a towel below. Once it is shown to work the funnel is re-added and everything is re-assembled.
Runs as good as new with no leaks, no fog and no mold.
