compressor stops, during normal use.
The defrost water drains out through a
trough into a special container at the

compressor, where it evaporates.
It is important to periodically clean the
defrost water drain hole in the middle of
the refrigerator compartment channel to
prevent the water overflowing and
dripping onto the food inside.
