Rancho Santa Fe Sub-Zero Appliance Repair ExpertsRancho Santa Fe, CA

Common fault

Why is there water under my refrigerator?

Short answer

Two causes account for almost every puddle under a built-in refrigerator: a defrost drain that has frozen shut, so the melt-water backs up and runs out under the door, or a split water line feeding the ice maker. Both are cheap to fix and neither stops on its own — and the floor underneath is absorbing water the whole time you are deciding.

If that matches what your appliance is doing, say so when you call — it tells us which parts to bring, and most of these are finished in one visit.

★★★★★

Our Sub-Zero PRO 48 had a complex cooling failure. Their technician was extremely knowledgeable—not just an appliance repairman, but a true Sub-Zero specialist. Fixed it quickly with zero fuss. Unbeatable service near The Crosby.

The wine cooler was malfunctioning, and I was deeply concerned for my collection. The technician arrived in an unmarked van, was impeccably professional, and resolved the humidity issue flawlessly. Exceptional 24/7 care in Fairbanks Ranch.
