The Problem

The customer reported that water runs out of freezer side when it’s plugged in. This type of water leakage from the freezer compartment typically indicates a defrost system malfunction.

Diagnosis

After examining the GE TPX24BPDABB refrigerator, we determined it needs an updated defrost heater. The existing defrost heater was not functioning properly, causing ice buildup that led to water overflow when the unit attempted to defrost.

Is It Worth Repairing?

Maintenance Tips for GE Refrigerators
