RF61P Hotpoint Fridge Freezer 'leaking'

I live in a rented flat. We have a RF61P Hotpoint fridge freezer. Every few days there is an accumulation of water inside the fridge under the (removable) fruit and veg compartments. I am getting sick of mopping this up. Have tried adjusting the thermostat but makes no difference. I don't want to inform our letting agents who manage the flat as it always takes them ages to do anything and they get all stroppy for disturbing them.

Anyway, is this a common problem and if so, what is causing this?

    The water usually drains though a small hole to the outside of the cabinet, where it evaporates. Check for crud.

    As espresso said, ours has a plastic pin in the bottom back of the fridge cabinet, you just pull it out and push back in a few times to clear the drain hole of 'crud'

    Yes, a common problem.
