Leaking Amana residential fridge

I'm getting a small leak from my Amana residential fridge, it's coming from the back and leaking through the cabinet floor it set on, I've checked the internal water trap to make sure the tube isn't iced up so I have these questions,,,

-Has anyone had this problem and found the issue?
-how do I pull out the fridge ( I have an 07' cedar Creek daydreamer) from it's cabinetry to work/replace it?

Thanks In Advance

  • If you are not at the point of wanting to change out to a braided line, here is something to try before pulling fridge. With the water on, check the line from fridge to it's outside exit of the slide. Usually ran behind the cabinets, might have to pull a drawer or 2 out. You will probably find a little pin leak. Pick one of these up at Lowes. Cut line and splice in. And once these lines start leaking, they will continue in other spots.
  • Yup! Shut down the water to the icemaker and nooo leak! Now i'll check for screws!
  • I would bet it is the line to ice maker. Mine did that and after fixing a couple of times, I changed out to a braided line like is used in the house.

    As far as getting fridge out, pull the plastic trim off the bottom of the fridge and check to see if any screws used to anchor. Don't know what the top of yours is, but if a wood trim valance, pull off and see if fridge anchored there too. Use some 2x4's or other wood to build up a level deck to bottom of fridge. Then put a piece of cardboard down over wood at bottom to keep from scratching and roll the fridge out.
  • It's got the icemaker and it's not on the web as its older, I've shut down the water supply to the icemaker to see if there lies the leak so we'll know more tomorrow but I mostly need to know the correct way to take out the fridge as it's built into the cabinetry a foot off the floor, I'm going to call Cedar Creek tomorrow but will appreciate any suggestions!

    again thanks fellers!
  • That model no does not come up. Is that from the sticker on the inside of the fridge?
