Kenmore Refrigerator making noise and leaking

There is nothing worse than a noisy and leaking refrigerator. Homeowners suffer from constant paddles and don’t trust the products in the fridge no more. If you experience the same scenario, this short guide will help you to resolve the issue. First of all, you have to know that noise and leakage report on different breakdowns. So that several parts of the refrigerator are malfunctioning and probably need replacing. A blocked defrost drain is one of the most common causes of leaking. This happens when food particles or other debris clog up the drain hose, which can lead to ice buildup and, eventually, water leaking out of the freezer and refrigerator. First, try flushing the drain from inside the freezer with warm water, using a turkey baster or a small funnel. You can also try using a pipe cleaner or a straightened coat hanger to forcibly remove the clog. If this doesn't fix the problem you may need to manually remove the debris that's clogging the check valve at the end of the drain hose. Pull your refrigerator out from the wall and locate the defrost drain hose in the bottom back service panel. This hose should have a rubber check valve, which helps regulate humidity and is known for catching debris and clogging. Clean the valve out with hot water and soap, and reinstall the valve. Hear a noise inside the refrigerator that sounds like a squeak or rattle? It's probably the circulation fan, which pushes air through the freezer and fridge sections of your appliance. The circulation fan is located right behind an access panel on the back of the refrigerator. Fan motors in refrigerators can fail in many different ways, but one of the most common (and gross) ways is an animal getting inside the fan and dying. You might not hear any noise, since the animal is blocking the fridge fan from running. It might also feel really warm and hot by the fan. Some problems are possible to fix only with the right tools and skills, so to keep the warranty valid and unit functional, it is at your best interest to contact a professional refrigerator repairman.
