Why does the refrigerator gives out water when power supply is cut off?
The most common problem in a refrigerator that is leaking is a plugged drain. All frost free refrigerators have a defrost cycle that melts the frost and ice that may build up on the evaporator coils and the water is channeled off to a pan or tray located outside of the refrigerator, usually underneath the refrigerator near the compressor.
The drain can be plugged with bits of food, ice, or plastic bag closers. In some refrigerators this drain is easily located and can be cleaned resulting in normal operation. However, most refrigerators have this drain located behind a back panel and will require some disassembly to access the drain. This process takes some patience and time.
