Inglis Refrigerator leaking water
If your Inglis refrigerator is leaking water or your fridge is leaking water on the floor, start with the most likely cause: a clogged or freezing defrost drain. Ice in the drain will overflow the drain trough and run down into the cabinet, so thaw the drain and flush it with hot water first. If the drain is clear, check the door gasket next; a torn or twisted gasket lets warm, humid air in and creates condensation that can leak out. After that inspect the water tank assembly for hairline cracks — do not try to glue a cracked tank, replace it — then check the water inlet valve for cracks or loose fittings. Finally examine the water filter housing and filter head for cracks or damaged seals. These checks cover the most common reasons a refrigerator leaks water, and RepairClinic carries the replacement parts you’ll need. Enter your model number on RepairClinic.com to find the exact gasket, drain part, tank, valve, or filter housing that fits your fridge.
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 - Inglis 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 - Inglis 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 - Inglis 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 - Inglis 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 - Inglis 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.
