To determine if the evaporator fan motor is defective, try turning the fan blade by hand. If the fan blade does not turn freely, replace the fan motor. Additionally, if the motor is unusually noisy, replace it. Finally, if the motor does not run at all, use a multimeter to test the motor windings for continuity. If the windings do not have continuity, replace the evaporator fan motor.
Clogged or Freezing Defrost Drain
The defrost drain might be clogged or frozen. If the defrost drain is frozen, the water will overflow the drain trough and drip down to the bottom of the compartment. You can use a turkey baster and warm water to help clear out a frozen defrost drain and tube. You should also make sure the drain tube trap is clear by the drain pan.
Electrolux Refrigerator Drain Strap
Some defrost drains are outfitted with a drain strap. The drain strap is a small piece of copper or aluminum that attaches to the defrost heater and extends partway into the defrost drain. When the defrost heater turns on, heat is conducted through the drain strap to melt away any ice that may have accumulated further down in the defrost drain. If the drain strap is not in place, the defrost drain may be more likely to freeze over.
Electrolux Refrigerator Evaporator Fan Motor
If the refrigerator’s defrost drain is clogged, it’s possible the evaporator fan motor is not working. If the evaporator fan is not running, cold air from the evaporator can migrate to the defrost drain causing ice buildup in the drain. To determine if the evaporator fan motor is defective, try turning the fan blade by hand. If the fan blade does not turn freely, replace the fan motor. Additionally, if the motor is unusually noisy, replace it. Finally, if the motor does not run at all, use a multimeter to test the motor windings for continuity. If the windings do not have continuity, replace the evaporator fan motor.

If the refrigerator coffee maker is leaking, it’s possible the coffee maker is dispensing too much water. This can be caused by a defective control board assembly continuing to allow voltage to be sent to the water dispensing valve, keeping the valve open. You can inspect the board assembly for signs of burning or a shorted-out component. You should first confirm there are no cracks or holes in the coffee maker container or hoses connected to the dispenser, as well as determine the dispensing valve is functioning normally before considering a control board assembly replacement.
K-Cup pod Is not pierced or pin is clogged
If the K-Cup pod is not pushed down firmly, the lower pin may not pierce through the pod. If the pins are clogged or not piercing all the way through the K-Cup, water may leak from the coffee maker. If the upper or lower pins are clogged they can be cleaned with a paper clip.
Electrolux Refrigerator Control Board
