Hello Everyone,

I've a Zanussi Electrolux fridge\freezer that appears to be leaking water from the freezer section. It seems to be coming from what appears to be a hood (almost looking like a cooker hood) at the back of the freezer, down along the floor and out of the door on the left.

I cleaned the freezer out and the flow seemed to increase the longer the door was open (and presumably warming up). I've turned the min\max control close to max and it seems to have stopped.

Could anyone tell me what the problem could be?

Thank you,

blocked drain.
Could be a failure of the drain pan heater, or just stuff blocking it.
There will be a ton of ice in the drain which will take a long time to defrost. After that, it's just a matter of clearing the drain and blowing through, also checking the drain pan heater works.
Your main heater and defrost cycle works (otherwise you wouldn't get any water. So it's not a big problem, it's just going to take some time, or stripping down, defrosting and checking resistance of the heater.
