If you find a puddle of water on the floor near your fridge, it could be due to an internal issue in the appliance. Many modern fridges have an automatic defroster built in to keep frost from building up in the freezer compartment. When everything is working as it should, you don't have to think about the fridge's operation.
Trouble arises when the drain tube connecting the freezer tray to another tray near the compressor where the water is supposed to go to, where it evaporates from the heat of the compressor. When the tube gets obstructed, the water overflows into the fridge compartment, collecting under the crisper drawer then eventually over spilling onto the floor.
Locate the tube and use a thin wire to dislodge any debris in the tube. Simple fix and could save hundreds of dollars buying a new fridge.
