Refrigerator leaking water onto the floor from the front or underneath.

Safety: Unplug the refrigerator before removing panels. Water on the floor can cause slips—wipe up spills promptly.

Steps:

• 1. Identify leak source: Check if water is coming from inside the fresh food or freezer compartment (front) or from the rear drain pan area.
• 2. Clear internal drain: Remove freezer drawers and rear panel to access the evaporator tray and drain hole. Use warm (not boiling) water in a turkey baster or squeeze bottle to flush the drain until water flows freely to the rear pan.
• 3. Clear rear drain tube: At the back, locate the rubber drain tube leading to the drain pan. Remove and clean it with warm water and a flexible brush. Reinstall securely.
• 4. Check drain pan: Inspect the Haier drain pan above the compressor for cracks or misalignment. Replace if damaged.
• 5. Prevent recurrence: Avoid leaving doors open, which can cause excessive frost and drain freezing. Periodically clean the drain.
