The problem

Water leaking under fridge and elevated freezer temperature

The repair

Cleaned heavily clogged condenser coil block

The result

Cooling restored, compressor cooled down, and leaks stopped

01

Customer Complaint and Possible Causes

Customer reported water pooling under the unit and elevated freezer temperatures. In built-in refrigerators, restricted airflow and high temperatures are often caused by heavy dust accumulation on condenser coils, which impairs heat dissipation, reduces cooling efficiency, and causes drainage issues.

02

Diagnosis and Findings

Inspection found the condenser coil block completely blocked by long-term dust and debris accumulation. This severe restriction caused compressor overheating and condensate overflow in the drain pan.

03

Repair Performed

Technician thoroughly cleaned the clogged condenser coil block, removing decades of dust and dirt to restore airflow and heat exchange.

04

Verification and Outcome

Post-repair monitoring confirmed compressor temperature dropped to 100–110 degrees. Even frost pattern formed on the evaporator coil, excess condensation ceased, and freezer temperature stabilized.
