    Check the door seals (they might be worn out); you can do that by taking a sheet of paper and closing the refrigerator door with t epaper in between the door and the fridge, if you can slide the paper out, then your seals might need replacement. The seal might not seal properly, letting cold air out, which in contact with the warm outside air causes condensation (cold air turns to water) and that's why your fridge may be leaking.

    Also, check the temperature control and set it to a lower level; your pipes might be freezing, causing ice to form and that ice melts, leaving your fridge in a puddle.

    Hope that helps.

    I agree with the clogged freezer condensate drain answers. Ours does the same thing - drain stops up, freezes over, and eventually the condensate from the frost control heater runs out under the door.

    I solved it most recently by clearing the ice plug from the drain and then running a doubled-up soft wire down the drain hole. It pushed something, I could feel it. Probably a ball of lint or dog hair. Drain's been working fine since.

    Refrigerators have water pans that pull out under the refrig. to clean. Excess water drains into this pan. Should be washed every couple weeks or so because of bacteria buildup.

    If you don't have this pan, it will drain onto the floor. However, water shouldn't be dripping 24/7.

    Check back of refrig. to see if there are any small tubes that have come loose and put back in place.

    If you have freezer and refrig settings inside of refrig. see what they are set on. Could be too much moisture. Set ot lower.

    That's as far as I can go with your question.

    Yup. Sounds like ur drain is plugged up. Mine stays that way. Mop the water up constantly or unclog the drain. I don't know how so I had somebody do it for me. But it clogged again. Good luck!

    If it has a freezer the defrost drain maybe plugged and pouring out somewhere else. You will need to defrost and clean it out. Or if you have automatic ice maker the water line may be leaking somewhere.
