Frigidaire Refrigerator leaking water
If your Frigidaire is leaking water or you’ve got a fridge leaking water on the floor, start with the defrost drain — a clogged or frozen defrost drain is the most common cause. Thaw any ice in the drain and flush it with hot water so melt and condensation can reach the drain pan instead of overflowing. Next check the door gasket; a torn or twisted gasket lets warm, humid air in and creates condensation that runs out the bottom. Inspect the water tank assembly for hairline cracks — small leaks are easy to miss and the tank should be replaced rather than glued. Also check the water inlet valve for cracks or loose fittings where it connects to the supply line, and inspect the water filter housing and filter head for cracked plastic or a missing seal. These are the most likely sources of refrigerator leaking water.

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 - Frigidaire 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 - Frigidaire 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 - Frigidaire 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 - Frigidaire 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 - Frigidaire 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.
