Crosley Refrigerator leaking water
If your refrigerator is leaking water onto the floor, start with the most likely causes and work down the list: a frozen or clogged defrost drain is the number one culprit—thaw any ice, then flush the defrost drain with hot water to clear debris so the refrigerator drain can flow freely. Next check the door gasket for tears, twists, or gaps; a bad gasket lets warm, humid air in and causes condensation to run out past the seal. If those look good, inspect the water tank assembly for hairline cracks—do not try to glue a plastic tank, replace it if it leaks. Also check the water inlet valve for cracks or loose fittings and the water filter housing and filter head for cracked housings or torn seals. These part failures are common causes when a fridge is leaking water or the refrigerator dispenser is dripping.

01 - Clogged or Freezing Defrost Drain
If the defrost drain is frozen, the water will overflow the drain trough and drip down to the bottom of the compartment. This water can eventually leak onto the floor. Check the defrost drain to determine if it is clogged or frozen. If the defrost drain is frozen, thaw the ice. In addition, flush the drain with hot water to ensure that it is clear of debris.

02 - Crosley Refrigerator Door Gasket
If a refrigerator is leaking water outside the appliance, it's possible a door gasket is damaged. A door gasket that does not form a proper seal to the refrigerator frame will allow warm humid air to enter the refrigerator or freezer compartment. This can create condensation which can then leak out the gap between the gasket and frame onto the floor. You should inspect the door gasket for any tears or twists and replace the gasket if necessary.

03 - Crosley Refrigerator Water Tank Assembly
Inspect the water tank assembly for any leaks. Be aware that the leak may be very small and hard to find. If you discover a leak, replace the water tank. Do not attempt to repair the water tank—glue will not stick properly to the plastic of the tank.
Highly Likely
04 - Crosley Refrigerator Water Inlet Valve
The water inlet valve opens to supply water to the dispenser and icemaker. If the water inlet valve is cracked or has a loose fitting, water will leak from the valve. Inspect the water inlet valve for cracks, and make sure that it is tightly secured to the water supply line.
Highly Likely
05 - Crosley Refrigerator Water Filter Housing
Inspect the water filter housing for cracks. If you discover any cracks in the water filter housing, replace the housing.
Highly Likely
06 - Crosley Refrigerator Water Filter Head
The water filter head might be cracked, or the seal may be torn or missing. Inspect the water filter housing for cracks. If you discover any cracks in the water filter housing, replace it.
