Whirlpool refrigerator leaking water inside! Help!?

Because the drain hose is stopped up, probably with frozen water. You're gonna need to get a big ice chest, put all your food in it, then let the fridge and freezer completely thaw out. I'm having to do exactly this same process this weekend. There may be a tray in the freezer that you'll need to take off too, prolly will have a ton of ice under it.

I have an older Whirlpool refridgerator with a top freezer. It is dripping water inside the fridgerator from the top. Does anyone know why it's doing this and how to stop it? Thank you!

What probably is happening is probably the drain tube needs to be cleaned .It is located in the refrigerator on the upper back of the inside. Obtain a turkey baster and fill with baking soda and water.Flush out the drain tube and see if the the unit is clogged with debris.Another trouble spot is to check your fridges door gaskets and see if they are ripped and need replacing.What happens is warm air could be entering the fridge and come into contact with cold air and cause a condensation problem. Another scenario is that the unit is not defrosting and causing a buildup of ice.The thermostat could be stuck or defective or the defrost limit is defective and not engaging the defrost element to defrost the unit. Once you start having trouble inside the sealed unit it is best to call an appliance repair technician.Cheers

In the center of the top of the fresh food section there is a drain cup that just plugs into the drain line at the back. Just pull it straight out and rinse it out and put it back.

It's probably just having a period.
