Admiral Fridge/freezer - Water Leak!!!!

lexie55_2

For the last couple of weeks there has been a pool of water in front of fridge door. Have been monitoring it as thought door had not been shut properly but no sign of water inside. No water for last few days, however, just checked side by freezer and water llying there now. Fridge is not against wall and nothing either side of it. Admiral fridge/freezer (no ice/water dispenser). Any suggestions...

Check the drip tube / outlet at the bottom of the metal plate in the fridge? The outlet, which routes water into the evaporation tray at the rear of the machine, is probably bunged up with black gunge. Get a cotton bud, or similar, to gently unbung its little places! And - if that's the reason - put it on your cleaning schedule as it will recur every few months.

Aaah ..... some of this gunge takes a long time to grow;)

But - that's been the problem every time we've had damp bits around the fridge!
