It happens to many of us — you put a glass up to your refrigerator water dispenser, and it sputters, or nothing comes out.

Pull the refrigerator from the wall and look for a transparent type of clog in the plastic line that connects to your ice maker and water dispenser inside or along the back of the unit.

If your refrigerator is leaking water on the floor, don't panic. Making these tweaks will likely stop the leaking—and save you the cost of a repair tech.
