Water on the floor can come from a refrigerator, a dishwasher, or an ice maker, and each leaks for different reasons. Tracing the actual source prevents a repeat, so we start there rather than just drying the base.
Notes by Brand
| Brand | What It Usually Means |
|---|---|
| Sub-Zero | A refrigerator puddling inside or on the floor usually has a clogged defrost drain overflowing the evaporator pan. |
| Bosch | A dishwasher leak that trips E15 means water reached the base pan, commonly from a worn sump gasket or door seal. |
| Miele | An F70 float fault points to a slow leak at the door gasket letting water collect underneath. |
| Monogram | An ice maker leak often traces to a cracked fill tube or a valve that no longer seats. |
| Thermador | A dishwasher inlet valve that fails to close fully overfills and leaks past the door. |
What to Check First
- Identify which appliance the water is actually coming from before wiping it up.
- For a fridge, check for a clogged defrost drain and a full evaporator pan.
- For a dishwasher, inspect the door gasket and the base for standing water.
- Shut the water supply to a leaking ice maker or dishwasher until it is repaired.
Electrical safety. Keep water away from outlets and the appliance cord. If a cord or connection is wet, cut power at the breaker before touching it.
Book a Diagnostic Visit
We confirm the fault, then quote the repair in writing. Diagnostic and travel fees, if applicable, are confirmed before the appointment and before repair approval.
