Roxanne - For model number RT21LMXKQ04
January 31, 2020
Inside the refrigerator, there is water leaking from the back inside wall starting from below the freezer all the way down and pooling inside at the bottom. Is there a drain plugged where?
Chris Boyle Profile
Hi Roxanne, Thank you for your question. There should be a drain tube at the bottom of the refrigerator under the crisper pans. Check to see if it is clogged and if it is, you will need to clean it out. We hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day.

Larry - For model number RT21LMXKQ04
September 25, 2026
Does this model have a (Fixed-Speed) Compressor , or an (inverter) Compressor ??
Chris Boyle Profile
Hello Larry, thank you for reaching out. Your refrigerator features a traditional fixed-speed compressor, part number W10309988. It operates on a standard on/off cycle using a mechanical defrost timer rather than an electronic inverter system. We hope this information helps!

I backed out the 2 top screws about a quarter inch and then removed bottem screw with a quater inch nut driver. I then lifted Ice Maker clear of the two top screws and lowered it enough to unclip the power connection with a small screwdriver. The new Ice Maker was wired correctley for my refrigeator so all I had to do wea reconnect the power connection and mount new Ice Maker on the two top screws and install the bottem screw. It took e while for the new Ice Maker to start it's cycle but after it did, it worked GREAT. Part Select service was OUTSTANDING, ordered part one day and received the next. THANKS!!!!

I knew the chances of all the freon leaking out was unlikely so I looked at the wiring to the compressor and there was a capacitor and a starter/overload so i figured I would start there. I went on line and found the parts at this site and they were less than the minimum service call charge for a service tech so I figured what the heck le t's give her a shot so I did give it a shot. I ordered the parts and they were there in less time than a service tech could come out and i installed the parts and guess what for 90.00 in parts and 15 minutes in time I repaired my refrigerator. Thanks guys, It took less time to order the parts than it did to make the repair so thanks, your website rocks and is very well designed so my hat is off to you guys!
