Haier Refrigerator leaking water

If your Haier refrigerator is leaking water onto the floor, start with the defrost drain—this is the most common cause. A clogged or frozen defrost drain will overflow the drain trough and spill down into the cabinet; thaw any ice and flush the drain with hot water to clear debris. Next check the door gasket for twists, tears, or poor sealing that lets humid air condense and drip out. Inspect the water tank assembly carefully; small, hard-to-see cracks mean the tank should be replaced, not glued. Also examine the water inlet valve for cracks or loose fittings and the water filter housing and filter head for cracked plastic or a torn seal. These water-system parts frequently cause fridge leaking water problems and fridge leaking water on the floor. You can troubleshoot and replace these parts yourself, and if you need the right replacement, enter your model number on RepairClinic.com to see the exact part that fits your refrigerator.

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 - Haier 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 - Haier 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 - Haier 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
