fridge leaking

[emunteanu]

Hi
I had compressor replaced to my fridge about two months back .
I have noticed (only a few days ago) water on the floor on the back side of the fridge. I have also noticed two things: when the compressor is on, one of the back copper pipe is frozen, and on the left outside wall of the fridge there is a colder spot (about 10 cm in diameter) on which condense is formed.

Call the repair man or woman back, it sounds like the unit is low on freon or overcharged and the water is coming from the frost that is forming on the evaporator coils or supply lines

[emunteanu]

Thanks,
But what may happen in either cases?

[jnaas2]

In both cases it will lead to premature compressor failure, and the icebox will not cool properly

[emunteanu]

thank you very much. it's been very useful your advice

Call for service!

sounds like the unit is low on freon or overcharged

It would either be overcharged or the heat exchanger could have separated. Undercharge should not cause frosting of the heat exchanger on the back of the fridge.

the water is coming from the frost that is forming on the evaporator coils or supply lines

It would be from frost on the heat exchanger/suction line. Frost on the evaporator would be contained inside the cabinet.

Call the repair man or woman back

I agree! ... and don't put it off as an overcharged system could lead to compressor damage ($$$+)!
