    Default Frostless Sears Kenmore refrigerator leaking inside

    My Sears refrigerator is about 5 years old, and just started leaking on the inside. Drips appear to come from a mechanism that connects the freezer compartment to the refrigerator compartment. I have vacuumed the coils in the front and back. The manual does not give alot more help on how to deal with this problem other than storing food in tightly covered containers and openning the door as few times as possible. Any ideas?

    Hi,

    Its likely your drain area for the defrost water to drain to the drip pan is frozen up.

    Jeff has a web page that explains this more:

    You will probably need to remove the freezer back panel and clear the ice blockage and run something through the drain, like a small drain rotor snake.
