Fridge condensation getting out of control

4 replies

for about 2 months now our fridge has been collecting pools of water at the bottom which leak out when you pull out the drawers. There seems to be a lot of condensation on the back of the fridge so I am guessing it's dribbling down, then forming a little ice block which then melts and leaks water everywhere. What is causing it?

your question looks the same as

There should be a drainage channel at the bottom of the back wall - check to see if it's blocked. Mine has a little red plunger you can wiggle - or use a cotton bud.
Mine does this from time to time - have to absorb masses of water with an old towel every few days, yet other times I can go weeks and weeks without a drop. I have a vague recollection that someone once suggested making sure no food containers/packages are touching the back wall. Don't know if this is relevant or I'm making it up though!
