Leaking Fridge - ewww wet socks!!

Hello

I have a fridge that leaves a little pool of water outside most mornings that I nearly always seem to step in!

Any advice?

I haven't had a really good look yet - but is it getting blocked somewhere? Where should the excess water go? Is it the right temperature? etc...

Many thanks :)

    Probably the drain hole is blocked.........
    Look inside the fridge & on the back wall near the bottom you should see a small drain hole.
    These holes often become blocked.
    To unblock turn OFF the fridge & unplug it.
    Get a piece of thin flexible wire about 650 mm long & push it into the hole a wiggle it back wards & forwards a few times.
    Then get a jug or something similar & pour a little water into the hole....if it is clear it should run away...
    Plug back in & turn on.
    Job done..........
