    Frigidaire dripping water
    I just bought a house and I have a Frigidaire fridge with top freezer. It is dripping water in the fridge and it appears to be coming from a white tube the wraps around the bottom of a plastic panel that contains the light an temp controls. We wipe out the water several times a day and I need some help. I looked at several threads and none seam to be the same type of fridge. Please help!

    Ours used to do that, we took it apart and found a sheet of ice between the freezer and the frig. It would build up and block the drain. So we cleaned everything put it back together and raised the front of the frig to drain better and put it into defrost by moving the timer into defrost. Ours also has air vents in the front of the freezer right inside the door
    You can put hot water down that and watch the drain pan, they'll have to empty it a couple of times. This is easy ti try and if It works you'll know what it is and if not you can rule out the drain from the freezer.

    There should be a small tube in that area that takes the water to the bottom of the fridge where the evaporator pan is. It is blocked. Pull fridge out from wall and you should see that tube in back of the fridge. Disconnect and clean. Sometimes just blowing in it will clear it.
