How Fridge Leak Into Ceiling Below Cleanup Works in Marvin

1. Stop the source safely

   An accessible shutoff can limit the Marvin refrigerator leak when the floor is dry. The appliance technician handles the failed connection. Photographs of the first puddle help show where the release began.

3. Map concealed moisture

   The assessor follows the water path past the refrigerator. A dry-looking surface may still cover a wet subfloor. Adjacent flooring is checked so the drying scope follows the spread.

• Do not touch a wet light, switch or electrical panel.
• Close a safe, reachable refrigerator supply valve or main shutoff.
• Photograph the ceiling and kitchen water from stable dry areas.
