Default [FIXED] Magic Chef Leaking water
My Magic Chef is leaking water from the freezer (I think) into the the top compartment & it is overflowing to the bottom of the fridgge. I will attach pictures to show the problem. The red outline is where all the water collects and overflows from

Hi John,

Sounds like your defrost drain hole/line is clogged up, not allowing the defrost drain water to run to your defrost pan under your refrigerator.

You'll likely need to take all the food out of the freezer then take off your back panel inside your freezer, and get a hair dryer and defrost all the ice underneath your evaporator freezer coils, then run hot water down the drain hole, and it should flow down fast.

I can not find any defrost pan under the refrigerator I think the picture of the leak is the defrost pan inside the fridge...Can that be?

No, pull your refrigerator out from the wall, then take off that lower back access panel, and you should see the defrost pan behind the compressor.
