GE side by side refrigerator leaking water out of the freezer onto the floor

[@timsalinas9320]

a few years later and because you had the idea to post a video of the exact same fridge and issue I saved tons avoiding buying a new fridge. thanks bro

[@KetoKevin]

Tim Salinas I'm glad it saved you a bunch of money!

[@Kana7782]

Thanks for your video! Wife almost called a repair man and they would have charged us just for the visit. But after watching your video I cleaned the tube and vacuumed the air evaporator which had dust all over it. Then chiseled and cleaned the inside of the freezer from bottom, front and back, up to the ice maker. Thanks again!

[@timothyjfeit]

Hello Kevin, This morning my wife said "I'm sick of the refrigerator leaking onto the floor, we're buying a new fridge." I said wait, give me a chance to see if I can fix it. 10 minutes later I'm watching your (excellent, to the point and concise) video and I'm certain you're showing me exactly what the problem is with my freezer. Around an hour later, drain tube unclogged, everything cleaned up, and the freezer is back to operating condition. Thanks for saving me a bunch of money. Liked and subscribed. Best Regards, Tim

[@jonwendt3937]

It's so rare to find a video for my exact issue. Problem fixed in 5 minutes and never touched a fridge before in my life. Had the mold build up in the exact same spot. Thanks so much!

[@KetoKevin]

I'm glad it helped! Saves a service call:)

[@afekete1]

You made my day!! I just started experiencing water leaking out of the freezer this last week. I checked the drain pipe, like on your video and it was clogged shut. Flushed it out, cleaned the dust out, and I'm back in business in 15 minutes. Thanks a lot for your help!!

[@dougramo8150]

This was exactly the problem I had! The first time I poured hot water down the drain hole inside the freezer and melted ice that had clogged it. This time that didn't work, and this video led me to a drain pipe clogged with sludge. Fixed in an hour, saved big money! THANK YOU!!!

[@Dred545]

Thank you my man!! Saved me from having to have a repair person come to the house, especially during this time of COVID!!

[@KetoKevin]

Nice!

[@sissym615]

Add us to the list....we fixed ours b/c of your video. Took 15 mins. including vacuuming all the dust up behind it. Many thanks!

[@laureentylerdodd9059]

Another person has used your advice to fix our GE fridge! Glad not to have puddles on the floor. Thank you!

[@paulmartin8271]

Since we've had multiple repairs costing over $700 in seven years of ownership of our $1200 GE (POS) side by side, when it started this leak I decided to just "bite the bullet" and buy a decent one ... only to find that a decent fridge anymore costs about $2,000. In desperation, I turned to youtube and found this LIFESAVING or at least money saving video. Thanks so much. Problem solved.

[@KetoKevin]

I’m glad it helped. I haven’t had to make any repairs other than things I have been able to do myself. The touch pad is definitely decrepit and has been for a long time. I need to change the auger in the ice maker. I have a new one but i keep putting it off. Things are definitely more expensive now...even though they keep saying inflation is non-existent.

[@PelicanNorth]

Another unclogged drain tube! Thank you! Amazing how taking time to post a simple video can help so many people.

[@KetoKevin]

Excellent! I really am happy it's saving people money. Take care:)

[@christhompson1761]

Thank you for the informative video. My refrigerator was doing the same thing. Cleaned the drain pipe in a few minutes and saved money in the process. No need for a new one or have a technician out. Great job!

[@maggied45]

Wow - thanks for this video. I have this problem and was considering calling a repairman - probably saved me over a hundred bucks.

[@KetoKevin]

+maggied45 Glad I could help!

[@realitybites4649]

there is a special place in heaven for people like you!!! thanks!!!

[@retromoto9456]

Can't thank you enough! My refrigerator is the same kind as yours and I scratched my head figuring out how to fix it. Your video was a great help!

[@LeeFred78]

This worked for me! The tube was clogged with mold, and the opening in the freezer was clogged with ice. All taken care of now. Thanks for the informative video!

[@KetoKevin]

Thanks for the comment!

[@keithwilliamsen3861]

This is EXACTLY the problem I've been having. Your directions are perfect and I had EXACTLY the same issue you had. Rinsing out that tube left a petri dish experiment in my sink!!! Thank you so much!

[@mattglaze7601]

Thank you, man! I had this exact problem. Never even knew that this was a thing. Almost got rid of the fridge after months of dealing with water and ice building up in the bottom tray of the freezer side. Watched this video and fixed the problem in less than an hour.

[@KetoKevin]

Hold on to it! I replaced with an inexpensive fridge and the quality is way lower. Much noisier.

[@AugieSeaman]

thank you! same exact fridge, same exact problem (and same exact kitechen, from the looks of it) =). appreciate the public service, sir!

[@thomasmadigan6083]

This was the exact problem I had last night. You saved me dude! Thanks from Ohio!

[@KetoKevin]

So glad I could help!

[@insolentstickleback3266]

Got up this morning went to coffee maker, bare foot in puddle for the gahzzilionth time...uhg. Mopped puddle and found my resolve. Thanks for making this video, I was dreading some kind of infernal disassembly nightmare, you just made my day sir !

[@KetoKevin]

I'm glad I could help! That's gross to wake up to!

[@insolentstickleback3266]

Just finished was not hard at all, do not let the Blueberries wander down to drain area, they will slither into the drain and form a heinous fruity mold ball. Total blockage, drain failure, freezer ice burg, cold puddle waiting to ambush your bare foot in the morning. Thtok :)

[@KetoKevin]

Vincent Omega that would do it! Mine was just mild growing from the water, adding sugar would probably even make a worse clog.

[@jens8555]

Very thankful for this video! Thanks for showing an example of this specific fridge and how the freezer looked.

[@KetoKevin]

Glad it helped!

[@carolesaunders8042]

Thank you so much! I have been trying to figure out where the leak was coming from. I came across your video! Thank you for sharing!

[@KetoKevin]

I’m glad you found it!

[@tamuags08]

Thank you so much for posting this video 5 years ago. Just helped me with this exact problem. Have an awesome day!

[@dannydimatulac8885]

Thanks, it's saved me hundreds of dollars for fixing the water leaking in my fridge

[@KetoKevin]

Danny Dimatulac that's really awesome! Thanks for letting me know:)

[@jamoophatt5655]

Thank you. This video saved me hours of troubleshooting and money.

[@edmaly]

Thank you, very much, for this video, Kevin! It feels great to fix something without having to call a repair man, or worse, replace the fridge!

[@KetoKevin]

Good job!

[@bmizzle010]

Have the exact same fridge.. exact same problem.. and the exact same repair fixed the problem. Thank you sir!

[@KetoKevin]

Awesome! Glad I could help:)

[@SuperSkerple]

Dude. You just saved us a couple hundred bucks. Thanks for making this.

[@KetoKevin]

I'm glad it helped! my water line in the dispenser is frozen again so I need to thaw it out. it takes a while but it's not too hard.

[@kriscote3295]

Thanks! I had an appliance repair person come out and they couldn't figure this out. I fixed it in 5 minutes...

[@KetoKevin]

Good job!

[@LayneHarris]

Same fridge, same problem. Thank you sir!!!

[@KetoKevin]

I’m glad you found the video!

[@ELDTAdventures-tp9jy]

Much appreciated! Saved me a difficult-to-obtain service call!

[@mytakedown]

Excellent video. Made my troubleshooting 100% easier.

[@KetoKevin]

Great!

[@mycods]

Thank you for taking the time to post this very helpful video. I will never understand the down votes. Probably from refrigerator repair techs who are mad you are showing their "secrets" they charge ridiculous prices for.

[@Truth-is-King]

Thanks man, you just saved me a ton of time, money, and frustration! This was an easy fix and the line in my refrigerator had gunk inside that cleaned right out.... hope that solves it! Thanks again...

[@tommybest5097]

Thanks for the great fix. Super easy and exactly on the money. Love a no parts needed free fix.

[@KetoKevin]

No kidding. The first time I saw the puddle I figured it would be expensive. Glad I was wrong.

[@R0dan]

MY HERO!! Been having this trouble also. Such an easy fix. Thank-you so much👍👍

[@rogerbreton6250]

I didn't want to pull the fridge out, I just used a long piece of wire (Safety Wire in this case) and shoved it down there to unclog it. I guess you could use anything firm enough but still can maneuver the curves. But this video was definitely helpful!

[@KetoKevin]

I’m glad it helped!

[@davidreed2783]

Thanks so much that was our exact problem. Fixed in a matter of minutes!

[@cptsquish]

You just saved me a lot of money. A freeze pop fell down and sealed the hole. I know nothing about refrigerators and was confused because I knew I was looking at a drain hole but I also knew there was no outside drain back to the sink. In other words, where the heck does the water go? Thank you for explaining.

[@KetoKevin]

Haji Dontsurf wow. That's quite a lucky shot! Lol

[@davejonesmusicau]

thanks so much for this. managed to fix fridge this morning - even with a hangover handicap

[@rashphoto]

Thanks! I had the same problem and this 10 minute fix was exactly what I needed!

[@KetoKevin]

Great! I hope you don’t have to do it often.

[@chuckhansen1]

We'll see if that ultimately was the problem, but your video made doing the fix a piece of cake. Thanks!

[@KetoKevin]

+Chuck Hansen I hope it has worked out for you!

[@crash41899]

Thanks for the video.. it was my same problem, hardest part was moving the fridge.

[@KetoKevin]

It’s an easy fix!

[@bobfriedlein7938]

Thank you! My son has the exact same problem! I'll share this with him!

[@KetoKevin]

I hope it helped😁

[@christopherbohnyak443]

Gota love KZbin.. thank you sir!! Was scratching my head for a day wondering why it was happening..

[@frankslater6018]

This was very easy. Excellent video . Thank you!!!

[@KetoKevin]

Im glad it helped!

[@sharee26]

Thank you so much for making this video. This helped me and my grandma we had the same exact problem!

[@KetoKevin]

I’m really glad it helped!

[@jonathanwilloughby4551]

Thank you for your video! It was exactly my problem and with your help I fixed it in less than ten minutes!! And most importantly, MY WIFE IS HAPPY AGAIN! ;-)

[@KetoKevin]

A happy wife means a happy life!

[@timtoale8109]

If she is anything like my wife, give her a few minutes. She will find something else.

[@westonwellersr1755]

Had the same exact problem and this video was right on. Thanks for posting and helping me out.

[@KetoKevin]

Weston Weller Sr my pleasure!

[@dopeselecta]

Just wanted to Hi5 you for helping me with the same issue on the same fridge.

[@ivetteborrell3893]

I really appreciate this video. Thank you so much for taking the time to show us!

[@KetoKevin]

No problem!

[@hollyroberts5834]

same exact fridgerator. guess what, it was clogged. no more towels in the floor. thank you very much for making this video.

[@KetoKevin]

Glad you got it done👍

[@SchwartzBwithYou]

Thanks for this! I have the same problem - will follow this procedure tonight and have a look.

[@davidramseyer4207]

Thank you - that was our exact problem. Excellent video!!!

[@KetoKevin]

Thanks for watching?

[@tonydellacer7771]

Thank you for info. Disconnect power first is always a good practice. Especially before cleaning away heavy dust build up.

[@jimhu7235]

Thank you for posting this video clip, Keto!

[@ginaferrara3106]

Awesome video!! Just couldnt figure out the mystery puddle is was leaking so randomly. We cleaned out that gross tube. Fingers crossed it's gone for good! Thank you for making this helpful viseo :)

[@KetoKevin]

I hope it's gone too! Although I will say if it got clogged once, it will probably get clogged again. You probably bought yourself a few years of dry floors though:)

[@normanharris8181]

Good looking out me and my girls just did the same thing thanks to your video it was simple

[@KetoKevin]

Excellent! I think you bought yourself several more years with the fridge now that you know how to fix this little recurring problem.

[@KarenONeil]

Perfect explanation. Job done, money saved.... Thank you, thank you!

[@KetoKevin]

I'm glad I could help!

[@sbfarmer8]

you are a fantastic person and I hope all your earthly desires are fulfilled.

[@michellelatina1524]

Thank you!!! My fridge isn't leaking anymore 🤗

[@mrmrsmisterpodcast8255]

Thanks for sharing this! This is exactly my issue! Kevin Keto you're awesome!

[@KetoKevin]

Thank you!!

[@ajay7099]

Thanks this was RIGHT ON TIME!!! lots of money saved......you are awesome. My family thanks you a lot.

[@KetoKevin]

Awesome! Thanks for letting me know it helped:)

[@irenegolden4766]

Thank you for your video. Just had the same problem and this helped so much!

[@lexusfan100]

i have same problem and i cleaned the pipe..thank you soo much. will wait and see if problem persists

[@khilleg]

Thank you for your video. I like to DIY fix things, too. Although we'll see how well this works, I just used very hot water and baking soda like the GE manual said to do but used a 10 ml syringe instead of a turkey baster. A few squirts (about a cup's worth of water) and its flowing again.

[@KetoKevin]

khilleg good job. Yours was probably iced over and didn't have the mold issue:)

[@kattjacob9930]

Thank you for your helpful video 👍👍👍

[@mitchdragon]

Thank you The Heavy Truth! Our freezer did the exact thing like this and we did what you did thank you so much for the help! we have such similar tile over here like yours too! haha!

[@KetoKevin]

I have had my ice cube maker freeze over recently too. I used a heat gun to melt the ice covering the inlet and my ice maker started working again:)

[@gregalexanian876]

Thanks! 👍 Video was spot on. Fixed our leak. 👍

[@KetoKevin]

Awesome! Thanks for the feedback:)

[@skyhawk2958]

Had wood floor damage due to the puddle, but now on the path of repair, thanks.

[@KetoKevin]

Glad I could help.

[@reneelibby4885]

Thank you . I will try. but I wish this had been filmed a bit better. Hard to see what you are doing when you reconnect the drain.

[@kevinchroniger1244]

Hey Thanks for this video you saved me a ton of money....... Worked fine...Thanks again

[@fredhag]

Thanks, this helped figure out my problem. In my case, the tube with a trap did not plug up. Instead, the inner rubber sealing flappy thing that the tube fits around had contracted or shifted with age to plug up the hole itself (most easily seen at 2:10 in this video). So I cut as much of that inner rubber part as I could without damaging the outer rubber sleeve(?), inserted the plastic tube into that sleeve, and then tried sealing the two with a zip tie. I hope it holds!

[@KetoKevin]

It’s not really under pressure so I bet it works for you👍🏻

[@fredhag]

Yep, it's held for a week now. On an unrelated note but same fridge... I have one of the GEs in which the water dispenser freezes every 2-4 weeks. I had installed a little heater that kept the tube from freezing for a year or two, but it's not working any longer. Now, I use a syringe and small plastic tubing to act like a hot water catheter up the water tube. I guess some people stick weed whacker cord up the tube and leave it there and that prevents freezing.

[@acpicker103]

Thanks man! Gonna fix it tonight, I thought oh crap its going bad!

[@KetoKevin]

I hope you got it working!

[@avonjovi]

Thank you for taking time to make this video! problem fixed

[@KetoKevin]

Glad it helped!

[@markoflexo]

Thanks for this video. It really helps.

[@sreed7274]

Thank you so much. I have the same problem for quite a while now. Will try this repair tip.

[@mjdaniels2nd]

Right on the money! Thanks for posting!!

[@xx-ui2jo]

Exactly the same problems I had. Thank you for sharing!

[@overlayj]

Thanks for posting! Your a life saver.

[@John-ho2ks]

Your video did the job! Thanks brother!

[@KetoKevin]

Thanks for watching!

[@dls07440]

Thanks! I was ready to buy a new refrigerator.

[@KetoKevin]

Debbie Shaver It was very frustrating until I figured out what was going on. Saved us both some money!

[@Estabooky]

Hoping this fixes my freezer! We've been having this same issue, however we're also experiencing the temperature rising in the freezer. Hoping this is the only issue and that the seal doesn't need to be replaced too 🙏

[@KetoKevin]

My fridge took a dump. The new one I bought seems like it was made more poorly.

[@hayleyvargas7878]

thanks for the tip real life saver

[@saberzaid678]

Thank you for this video!!!! Absolutely amazing time saver.

[@KetoKevin]

I'm glad it helped:)

[@MattTurel]

Thanks for the info. Just a suggestion for the future, a wide, not vertical, video would help the view, with a bit of light.

[@KetoKevin]

I always forget which way to turn my phone when I make a quick video. Thanks though.

[@trainingwithtracy3100]

Yes, this totally worked - thank you!

[@TangledThorns]

Thank you! Saved me time and money!

[@KetoKevin]

Awesome. It was a pretty easy fix:)

[@tomlacy9316]

Perfect!!! it worked like a charm.... Thank you so much for the help!! Its very much appreciated!!

[@KetoKevin]

+Tom Lacy No problem! Now if I can just figure out the black specks that show up on my ice...

[@perecarl12]

I just bought a used GE fridge exactly like yours. I plugged it in and saw warm water dripping to the drain. I was not sure if this was normal while the freezer was getting cold. Should I be worried?

[@glennhager4678]

Thanks for the video. That fixed my problem.

[@1981hulya]

Hi, did you unplug your fridge from the wall prior doing this? Would there be any leaking of water on the floor when I pull the tube out? Thanks!

[@deeso5040]

Thank you. I will try it this weekend I hope i that’s the problem.

[@christianjohnson8925]

THANKS!! Exact same issue..appreciate the video!

[@nazireen]

Thank you so much for the Video, It save me lot of time.

[@mitchyderose6614]

did your food start to defrost? because mines is doing the same thing but my food is defrosting. so I'm wondering if theres an additional problem

[@KetoKevin]

Mitchy Derose I didn't have any food defrosting, but if there is ice on the floor of your freezer keeping your door from shutting and sealing properly I suppose that could cause a problem. If that isn't happening I don't know what it could be.

[@coyotekillermiller]

Awesome!! Thank you !!!

[@1981hulya]

Hi I did this, but my fridge continues to leak water to the floor. What could the issue be?

[@chowy1029]

Thanks a million, save me $$ fixing my fridge. I put some bleach in the pipe, let is sit for few min then flush with hot water. Hope the mold doesn't come back to often.
