Panasonic Refrigerators - Recent Questions, Troubleshooting & Support

I have a Panasonic NR-B53V2 fridge and it is slowly leacking water and gathering a lot of water under the bottom tray (the vegetables one). I have read it is because of the condensation and I should clean the drain hole, but I cannot find it. Anybody knows where that hole is in this model of fridge?

Question edited for full make model (what it is). Question moved from Cars and Trucks category. The most likely reason is the that the cabinet has reached the target temperature and the compressor cycles off. https://www.cebuappliancecenter.com/product/panasonic-21-cuft-2-door-inverter-refrigerator/ ..

I would ask Panasonic.

My sympathy. You are having a bad day. The most likely cause is your defrost evaporation pan (if the refrigerator is frost free and almost all within the last 20 years are) the defroster runs water from the freezer unit (and maybe refrigerator unit) down a tube to a pan under the machine. You will need to pull the machine out where you can get all around it, find the pan, pull it out (may have water in it) empty the pan, clean the pan (if you have had the machine long, it may be nasty), and then make sure that the tube is clear. Sometimes the part that goes from the tube to the freezer and or refrigerator compartment is tilted down so the water goes into the machine instead of down the tube. You also need to clean the coils and other parts of the underneath of the refrigerator while you are there. If this does not fix the problem, you probably need to pay for a service call. Sears is always sending me e-mails telling me how cheap their service is. You may want to check it out before your start as they may give you a "special introductory offer".

model number please

at that, when you have food stuck in and iced allready what you need to do is relocate it and bring in fresh food there. freezer only

is due to the condenser.

pending on it's possition, first remove the thermostat nub and their is a light nut that looks like a washer then use either ring spanner 13 or plier to unscrew.

is the rotor inside the compressor.

yes.

if it iced, tap with hand.

the cover has keys by side and all you need to do is to use your pam (hand) to push out.

please change the hot grey square capacitor.

They can be causes by many things, the defrost timer is common.

check your user hand book as most fridge settings work the lower the number the colder the setting so 1 is around 1-3 degrees , 3 is 4-6 degrees, 4 is 7-10 degrees it is the freezer that works 1 is minus 5 and 5 is minus 20 degrees it would explain why everything is freezing up it would also explain the non stop running as the fridge is battling to keep the low setting

Confirm that the seal around the door is tight. Confirm that the door is fully closed with no obstructions and the door alignment is correct. Confirm no ice between door and seal. Using a strip of paper test the tension between the door and seal around the door. Check the freezer temperature. It is possible that the defrost cycle has stopped operating. Usually the self defrost will prohibit proper cooling as the ice builds up on the cooling coils. Look for ice build up on the cooling coils/vent openings. Check the freezer and refrigerator temperatures. Hope this has helped?

Thats normal when set at the lowest, raise it up a few degrees and it will cycle on and off more If you need further help, reach me via phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/steven_a67ead41eb5fc62a
