KENMORE FRIDGE COLDSPOT 106 Leaking Water

Drain Tube Heater Probe

This component attaches to the defrost heating element and extends into the drain hole. It prevents the common failure mode where the drain line freezes shut, causing defrost meltwater to overflow the internal trough and leak into the freezer cabin or onto the kitchen floor. It addresses the recurring icing issue that simple manual defrosting cannot solve permanently.

Refrigerator Drain Unblocker Kit

Used to mechanically clear debris, slime, or mineral buildup from the long drain tube that leads to the evaporation pan. Since the 106 model series often experiences clogs at the 'duckbill' valve or within the tube itself, a cleaning kit provides the necessary tools to restore proper drainage flow. This is a primary step before replacing more expensive mechanical assemblies.

Water Inlet Valve

If the leak is localized to the ice maker area or involves a steady drip from the dispenser, the solenoid in the water inlet valve may be failing to seat properly. This allows water to weep into the unit continuously, eventually overflowing the ice tray or internal reservoirs. This is a common failure point for units older than 10 years.
