  If water is flowing on the floor near your IKEA Refrigerator, it could be due to a few reasons. First, ensure the door is closing properly. Also, the defrost water drain might be clogged; try cleaning the drain hole with a piece of wire. If the drip pan is cracked, the IKEA after sales customer service center will assist you on the phone at the time of service call request. Please refer to www.IKEA.com/au and select your local store for local store phone numbers and opening times.

  If there's too much condensed water on the rear wall of your IKEA Refrigerator, it might be because the door was opened too frequently or not closed completely. Try to open the door only when necessary and ensure it's fully closed. Also, make sure to wrap food in suitable packaging before storing it in the appliance.

  If your IKEA Refrigerator isn't operating, make sure the mains plug is correctly connected to the mains socket. If it is, check if there is voltage in the mains socket by connecting a different electrical appliance. If there's still no power, contact a qualified electrician.

  If water is flowing inside your IKEA Refrigerator, it could be that the drain hole at the back of the appliance is clogged. Clean the drain hole with a piece of wire. Also, ensure that food products do not touch the rear plate, as this can prevent water from flowing into the water collector.
