Hi - We are sorry to hear of the wet carpet around the refrigerator. We suggest to defrost the unit whenever frost on the wall of the ice tray compartment becomes 1/4" thick. See page 7 of the Owner's Manual for complete details on defrosting your refrigerator: http://products.geappliances.com/MarketingObjectRetrieval/Dispatcher?RequestType=PDF&Name=49-60705-2.PDF - If the refrigerator is not cooling properly, this frost can melt and possible leak. Warm weather, frequent door openings, or door left open can cause warming temperatures. Check to see if a package is restricting the door from completely closing. If necessary, adjust the temperature control to "Coldest". Also, moisture may form on outside of refrigerator during periods of high humidity. See page 10 of the Owner's Manual. We hope this is helpful. Keep in touch! SUE@GEA
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The refrigerator creates condensation over a period of time. These units are not self defrosting. As the ice builds on the coils inside, the efficiency of the unit goes down. The ice will melt a small bit at a time, thus draining to the bottom of the refrigerator and running out the door. Defrost your unit as you notice an ice build up, and your problem will be solved.
