Incident narrative

SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20200618-796A5-2147371625. Severity: Incident, No Injury. Product: Frigidaire FFHS2622MSJ (Frigidaire 25.6 Cu. Ft. Side-by-Side Refrigerator). Incident: While cleaning side by side refrigerator with a water and [REDACTED} dampened cloth, water drained down a hole that is supposed to be sealed by this silicon type material. 5 mins after cleaning smoke started coming from under the fridge. After further investigation and I discovered that the hole that is supposed to be sealed sits right on top of a electrical component called the compressor. A small amount of water dripped down onto the compressor and ignited a fire. This hole is where the water dispenser lines come up through the bottom of the fridge. After all was said and done I thought to myself that this could happen to anyone just cleaning this type of refrigerator. I have video and pictures of my findings. I've contacted Electrolux and I haven't received any response. Frigidaire FFHS2622MSJ
