Most common repairs needed to fix a GE Profile refrigerator
Defrost Drain Replacement
When the defrost drain is clogged, frost and ice melting from the evaporator fins during the defrost cycle won’t be able to drain away, causing an overflow of water in the drain pan and leading to water leaking underneath the refrigerator. To prevent potential damage to the floor and refrigerator if leaks are noticed, have a Sears Home Services professional inspect the refrigerator to address and rectify the clogged defrost drain promptly.
Dispenser Water Tubing Replacement
Cracked refrigerator dispenser water tubing will result in water leaking around the dispenser area, leading to puddles or moisture accumulation on the exterior of the refrigerator. This leakage can result in decreased water flow to the dispenser. You might also notice water dripping from the dispenser nozzle or pooling in the dispenser tray. In some cases, a crack in the tubing can introduce contaminants or compromise the water's purity, affecting its taste and odor. Promptly addressing a cracked water tube with a Sears Home Services professional is crucial in preventing possible water damage.
Evaporator Replacement
A damaged refrigerator evaporator causes a decrease in overall cooling performance, leading to elevated temperatures in both the refrigerator and freezer compartments. These higher temperatures can result in food spoilage and less effective preservation of frozen items. Frost or ice buildup on the evaporator coils may hinder their ability to absorb heat efficiently. Excessive condensation inside the refrigerator can lead to leaks. Additionally, a damaged evaporator may cause unusual noises, such as hissing or gurgling sounds, during the refrigeration cycle.

How is the leaking water problem fixed?
Correcting most leaking water problems usually involves replacing the defrost drain, dispenser water tubing or evaporator. However, there are many potential causes, so a thorough diagnosis is key to fixing the problem. An accurate diagnosis is essential to understanding how much the repair will be.
Sears Home Services recommendations for a refrigerator that is leaking water
When the refrigerator is leaking water it can be for many reasons. To avoid replacing unneeded parts we recommend having a Sears Home Services professional perform diagnostic tests to identify the root cause of the problem. Our technicians are experienced at diagnosing all types of refrigerator failures.
What to look out for with a refrigerator leaking water diagnosis
Diagnosing modern appliances without proper knowledge and training can be difficult. Without using proper diagnostic techniques, fixing your refrigerator problem will only be achieved through changing parts on a hunch. Appliances, especially in the last 10 years, have become extremely advanced, and many models have electronic parts that are difficult to test. DIY repairs on the latest appliance models are becoming increasingly difficult.
Troubleshooting a GE Profile Refrigerator Ice Maker Leaking Water
When you find your GE Profile refrigerator ice maker leaking water, check the ice mold to see if water is overflowing. On some GE Profile refrigerators, you can adjust the fill level to prevent the overflow and fix the water leak. Some ice makers have a water fill adjustment screw that you can turn to decrease ice maker water flow. If you don’t see that adjustment on your GE Profile fridge, find the instructions for adjusting ice maker water flow in the owner’s manual and follow those steps to adjust the ice maker fill level.
Another cause of water overflowing the ice mold and leaking water from the ice maker is a leaking water valve. A piece of debris in the water fill valve for the ice maker can cause water to seep into the ice mold constantly. A control problem or defective water fill valve can cause the same problem. It’s best to have a service technician diagnose and repair this type of problem causing your GE Profile refrigerator ice maker leaking water. The technician will check the entire ice maker, the water valve and the control system for the source of the problem causing the leak.
