Water in fridge

That's it really... A small pool of water slowly accumulates at the bottom of the fridge. Too warm? Too cold? Help! Thanks.

I don't know but I have the exact same problem!

Google seemed to say to check that the drains aren't blocked - but couldn't find any drain holes in ours.

Drain holes could be frozen solid. Give it a good defrost 24 hours

We had this. Drain holes were fine but the fridge was apparently on its last legs. Something to do with the coolant no longer being as efficient. The fridge was 14 years old and had to be replaced.

Are any products touching the back wall of the fridge.

your fridge has a gutter and a drain, which must be unblocked and correctly fitted. If you can't see them, look at the instructions. If you've lost the instructions, download them from the maker's website.

There will be a drain plug somewhere.

Also dont overstuff fridges - remove excess packaging to let air circulate, and dont stand in front of the open door thinking.

Thanks for all your help! Was away and am now staring at my fridge, trying to work out problem! There doesn't seem to be anything at the back to drain (fridge fitted into kitchen bought last year, so have no idea of make or anything. Hmm.) but thanks all!

Any chance you could put a picture of the inside back wall of the fridge up? Someones bound to have similar.
