    Hi , Lokk at the back of the fridge for a drain hole and make sure it is clear.

    next make sure the frige is at the right setting and not on defrost.


    hope you sort it cheaply

    We had this with our 'drinks' fridge in the garage, discovered a spiders web had blocked up the exit of the drain pipe and had backed up the water! I suggest having a look at both ends!
    I'm mad!!!! :rotfl::jand celebrating everyday every year!!!

    Use a drinking straw. A cotton bud is not long enough to get down to the bottom where you could have a piece of food lodged, blocking the pipe.

    Also, if there is something in the pipe I find that most times it comes back up on or in the straw.
