Frequently Asked Questions
Why does water pool at the bottom of my fridge?
The defrost drain is blocked, so defrost water spills into the fridge instead of reaching the drain pan. Clearing and sanitising the drain resolves it in most Johannesburg homes.
Is a leaking fridge dangerous to my floor?
Yes. Persistent leaks warp laminate and chipboard and can seep into cabinetry. We recommend booking as soon as you notice pooling.
