I have a Kenmore refrigerator 106.8758211 that drips water down the back of the fridge into the wells under the crisper. There is a cover with foam inside covering where the fan runs behind the back of the fridge attached to the top of the fridge that I was able to unscrew- then There is a reservoir coming out of the back of the fridge- it is like a miniature scoop- I took it out cleaned it and that is where the majority of the water is coming from- also the top of the fridge I took a long thin piece of wire and ran it up as far as it would go and a lot of water came out- seemed to be dry after about 20 minutes of that. Any suggestions on how to stop this?

Is this a side-by-side or freezer on top? If it's a freezer on top model you need to thaw it out well and remove the floor of freezer by removing the screws holding the cover located on each side. Then slide out the cover and very carefully remove the Styrofoam cover. You will then be able to see the drain pan at the back. Probably some beans fell into the pan somehow along with other trash. Clean it out well and pour some bleach down drain and blow out with water hose nozzle. While you are at it clean the coils under the unit by removing the back and spraying down coils with good spray soap and rinsing with water hose nozzle.
