LG refrigerator leaking water is a known issue affecting LFXS26973S. Our technicians specialize in LG-specific diagnostics and repair.
LG refrigerator leaking water is typically caused by clogged defrost drain or damaged water line. LG-specific factor: defrost-drain freeze-up on lg french-door models — the drain plugs with ice so melt water sheets onto the freezer floor and out the door. Repair costs $100-$300 with free diagnostic and 90-day warranty.

Water-line quick-connect fitting weep at the rear where the dispenser line meets the inlet
Filter-head crack at the twist-in cartridge seat dripping inside the fresh-food compartment
Dispenser reservoir or line seep behind the crisper after a filter change disturbs the seals
Door-gasket condensation dripping in humid rooms that owners mistake for an internal leak
Other LG models may also be affected. Book a free diagnostic for confirmation.
Bay Area LG French-door leaks most often trace to the defrost drain freezing over — fog-belt humidity feeds heavier frost, and once the drain ices the water finds the door. The technician clears the drain and often fits a drain-tube heater to stop the recurrence.
Pull the freezer drawer and check the floor for a sheet of ice — that confirms a frozen defrost drain rather than a plumbing leak
Flush the defrost drain from inside the freezer with warm water and confirm it runs to the drain pan below
Inspect the rear water-line quick-connect and the filter head for a slow weep after a filter change
The technician distinguishes a frozen defrost drain (clear the ice, correct the drain routing, and add a drain heater — a moderate repair) from a plumbing weep at the rear fitting or filter head (a shorter fix). Door-gasket condensation is the low-cost, owner-education end. The LG-specific finding is the drain freeze-up, which a generic "leaking fridge" checklist misses.

“My exprience with Easy Bear was absolutely superior from the beginning. I had a Subzero decide to quit. Daniel assessed the issue immediately, ordered the required new " motherboard" and had it installed within three days. My prior replacement of said part took 5 months during Covid. Daniel is smart, professional, clearly knows his trade . I most definitely will use Easy Bear in the future.”

“Daniel the technician came to diagnose what's causing our washing machine water overflowing. He didn't actually have to do anything to solve the issue, because as soon as he turned it back on, it began to work properly, but explained what the probable cause was. He was sincere and clear on the matter related to the situation. I wasn't charged for his visit as I was told ahead of time. Stanislav was also cordial arranging for all of the process. I will call them next time I need an appliance service without hesitation.”
