Moving fridge freezer

riddles

I was moving a fridge freezer to get it back into the kitchen unit meant lifting it into place maybe 5 inches off the ground. I leaned it back to slide it up probably inclines 50-60 degrees - whilst doing this about half a cup of water was spilled - is this okay is there any concern with this?

Probably came out of that evaporation tray at back of fridge part.

No, shouldn't have to empty it unless you have a faulty one like me! Many engineer visits later and major buck passing between retailer and manufacturer and still no solution except engineer helpfully gave me a giant turkey baster type thing for suctioning out the water before it flows onto floor!

The water that freezes and thaws on the back wall of the fridge goes down into a drain at the bottom of fridge, usually just at level of veg drawer, you'll see a little hole there. That drains out the back of the fridge and goes into a little plastic tray from which it's supposed to evaporate with the warmth at back of fridge. So yours might just have spilled out if you tipped it a bit too far.

If the door seals are gone then you can end up with a fuller evap tray than expected. Check the seals!
