Hisense HR6TFF437 (436L, White) Questions & Answers

I had the same issue with the fridge leaking water from under the cripser and ont the floor and I was able to fix it myself but not without some struggles as this fridge is really poorly designed. Anyway, the best way to clear this is a full defrost. Basically the problem lies in the freezer where the drain hole under the evaporator unit in the freezer, is blocked up by a large amount of ice, so that the defrost water cannot drain out of the hose and down back into the defrost pan. Instead the water leaks through the venting duct between the fridge and freezer and leaks down the back panels inside the fridge ito the unit and under the vegetable crisper and onto the floor.
If you want to know how to fix it, please see my previous post.

Daniel S what was the previous post. However will try complete defrost. Defrosted the back panel but not the freezer. Was ok for a week and has done it again. Just glad I do not have WOODEN FLOOR

Here you go:

However if you are a bit of a fix it man, then I would suggest the following that I did. NOTE mine was an HR6TFF526S model

1. Empty the freezer, remove the shelf, and turn the freezer and fridge settings to the lowest you can.
2. Then remove the two screws at the top corners after prying off the screw covers .
3. Remove the back panel gently making sure that you remove both the plastic cover together with the styrofoam attached to it. Careful as the FAN is also attached to the plastic cover as well as the thermostat wire ( on the RHS ).
4. After gently prying opened the plastic cover and styrofoam, unplug the fan and the thermostat wire from the back (right hand side ). Be careful as there is a clip at the bottom where the styrofoam sits on and make sure you do not break this.
5. You will immediately see at the bottom under the evaporator unit, the huge amount of ice that has accumulated and blocked the drain hole which is at the back on the bottom. There will be a leading wire into that drain hole and it will be iced over.
6. Use a hair dryer ( unless you want to pour hot water into the freezer ) to melt the ice, whilst putting a towel at the bottom of the fridge to collect the water leaking from under the crisper.
7. Using a plastic tool, you may want to try and chip away the ice until it comes out from under the evaporator unit whilst it is being melted by the hair dryer.
8. Once it is all removed you will see the drain hole. Make sure it is also free from ice. Clean it all up and dry it up.
9. Replace the back panel ( plastic and styrofoam ) making sure that you connect back the fan and the thermostat first.
10. Push the styrofoam and back panel back into place, make sure that you do that with both assembled together and not separated.
11. Put back the top screws and cover.
12. Put the shelving in the freezer, your frozen food and turn the fridge and freezer back onto the normal settings.

Hope that helps.

Mine is leaking like this too. Have you found out how to fix this?

Not yet

like many fridges these days it seems to have issues keeping a seal on the fridge or freezer door when you slam the other. I fixed this via ordering a couple rare earth magnets off of ebay.au ... two pairs of little ones and glued them aligned to the door and frame. keeps the seals sealed tight and now this fridge rarely runs and is a lot cooler on the outside. The outside is rarely more than lukewarm to the touch, and I live in the tropics where the kitchen is more often +30c than it's not.
