Removing the Water Tank from a Frigidaire Refrigerator

Frigidaire refrigerators include a water tank inside the refrigerator behind the crisper bins. The tank stores the water from your home water line that runs into the back of the refrigerator. If you're having a problem with water leaking from the tank and into your crisper, you will need to remove the entire tank to see if it needs to be replaced. You can order a replacement tank online from Frigidaire or from another appliance parts retailer.
