Water Inlet Valve Assembly
The water inlet valve is the primary entry point for water into the unit. Over time, the solenoid diaphragms can fail to seat properly or the plastic housing can develop hairline fractures due to water hammer, resulting in a persistent leak at the rear base of the refrigerator.

Defrost Drain Grommet (Duckbill Valve)
This valve is designed to let meltwater out of the freezer during the defrost cycle while keeping warm air out. It frequently becomes clogged with debris or sticks shut, causing water to back up into the freezer floor and eventually leak out the front or into the refrigerator compartment.

Water Filter Head and Housing
The filter head contains internal bypass valves and seals that engage the water filter. Constant pressure fluctuations and thermal expansion often cause the plastic housing to crack or the internal O-rings to fail, resulting in water pooling on the top shelf of the refrigerator section.
