Component test · RefrigeratorThe defrost heater (glass tube, metal sheath or foil type) melts frost off the evaporator a few times a day. A good heater reads in the low tens of ohms; use the wattage math to check the exact value.
Guide · RefrigeratorOverflow usually means water entering when it should not: an inlet valve that seeps closed because of low pressure or debris, a fill tube that froze and diverts water, or a cracked fill tube. A tray that is not level or a misreading ice maker can also overfill.
Guide · RefrigeratorA few drops right after dispensing is normal. Longer dripping is usually trapped air in the lines after a filter change or door removal, which pushes water out as it expands. If purging does not help, check filter seating, levelling and the inlet valve.
