Just bought a new house (first one!) and cleaned the fridge and top freezer compartment out last night. I figured nothings in it yet, so might as well turn it off. i had scraped out any ice to make sure it wasnt just goig to melt, etc. It does have an ice maker in the freezer compartment, but was empty.
Wife walks in this morning to continue cleaning and she said there's water leaking from rhe bottom of the fridge on the floor. I assumed maybe it was condensation runoff from cleaning, but she said it kept leaking after wiping it up. Asked her to turn it on, smelled a slight burning smell ( guessing water on the coils) and it stopped leaking.
If it wouldnt have stopped leaking I'd have assumed too much water trying to drain from hidden spots it was frozen, but doesn't make sense. Unless it's water from the lines going to the ice maker?
