Mine was doing that inside - the little reservoir under the veg boxes was filling up with water all the time - I got everything out and had a little poke around and there was a bit of paper in the drain hole. I don't know where that water goes normally
but it was accumulating in the floor of the fridge. I hope yours is straightforward to fix.
Sadly my freezer problem was terminal and I had to get another one. One for the garage!Save £12k in 2025 #2 I am at £10,020.92 out of £6000 after September

Boo to the fridge. Could you keep a look out for one on your local FB group page just to tide you over. People are often giving them away in working condition.
Poor Mr N missing his companion. My Miss M missed my old boy for quite a while afterwards even though they didn't often get on. He was really vocal and she never miaowed at all then suddenly after a few weeks she started miaowing and she's quite loud now. The vet said if you have a vocal cat often the quiet one lets them do all the miaowing. I really do dread anything happening to my cat and dog, I try not to think about it.
Take care and I hope you get a better night's sleep tonight xx
