Zebvance Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 I have a beer fridge in my garage that I picked up off of Craigslist a few years ago and it has always worked great. I believe it is a hot point. Anyway to get to my point, the past couple weeks I have been coming out side to find pools of water on the lowest tray. I though a water bottle as leaking or something. I pulled all the beverages out of it and cleaned it and sure enough the next day had another pool of water. We'll today I grabbed a beer out of it and it kicked on and started to drip water pretty aggressivly from the top of the fridge. I put a bowl up under it to catch the water. So my question is, what's wrong with it? Can I fix it? It still cools and freezes great though. I have attached pictures of where it is leaking from and the fridge to be able to see what model it is or what ever to someone that knows about them. Some help would be great! And sorry for any typos this is coming from my phone. Fat fingers and small keys don't work to well. Image Not Found Image Not Found Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gogmorgo Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Like 87manche said, there's a drain tube for condensation. I'm not really sure where it goes, but I had a fridge doing this once, and I seem to remember that the tube drained into a pan near the compressor, and the heat off the compressor dried it up. At any rate, the tube can get clogged, and usually it's just that some condensation managed to freeze in there. I "fixed" it by unplugging the fridge and letting it stand open for a few days, and it didn't happen again to the best of my knowledge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zebvance Posted September 19, 2013 Author Share Posted September 19, 2013 Well I finally got around to messing with the beer fridge and it looks like y'all were right! Started to tear it apart and there was a tone of ice under the freezer bottom tray. Started pulling out the panels and chipping the ice away and I found the drain hole. It's clogged and iced up. So I'm going to let it defrost and drink a cold whiskey and coke and them blow the line out with my compressor air gun. Thanks to you guys ill be back drinking cold beer and working on the mj again in no time! Image Not Found Image Not Found Image Not Found Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
