A friend with a 2 year old big Sears refrigerator/freezer, freezer
drawer on the bottom, has a small amount of water on the ceramic tile
floor.

I said he should turn the water off to the ice maker and see if the
water stops. It has a saddle-valve easily reachable in the basement.
I said to tighten it "firmly" but not too tight. Now I think firmly
could be heard as firmer than it should be. A better word?

*He* wants to pull the fridge away from the wall to look. It has
wheels, but they don't touch the floor and he thinks you have to tip
it back to get the wheels to lower down. Could that be true?

In addition, the fridge is only 3 inches from the wall and he can't
tip it enough.

Plus it's in the corner, with little extra width, no place to grab on,
and no one can pull it out! Maybe ropes attached to the two front
legs, that will pull and lift a bit too?

Suggestions?

Thank you.

In some models, there is a drain tube that leads to a shallow pan. A
minimal amount of water comes out occasionally, flows into the pan, and
because of the shallow nature of the pan, it just evaporates there being
close to a fan with air flow. Sometimes the unit is jostled, and the tube
comes out of the pan, and the water goes on the floor. You may be able to
see this from the front if you take off the cover grate and shine in there
with a flashlight.
