I am in N Illinois. We have a refrigerator in our garage. It is making
water puddles underneath it, which attracts some undesirable
lifeforms. There is no water line coming to the fridge, so the water
much be condensate from the air, either from refrigerant pipes or the
freezer.

How would one approach finding out what is wrong? Any good starting
tips?

thanks

Others have suggested the condensate pan overflowing or not being there but
are you sure the water is not simply condensing out of the air around the
refrigerator door gasket and running down the body of the refrig to the
floor. If the refrig has some age, there is probably a switch inside the
fresh food section that turns a heating wire on to heat the gasket area of
the refrigerator to prevent condensation during warm, humid days. That may
have been switched off. And if not, I suspect that you would always get
condensation around the door of a refrigerator in a Northern Illinois garage
in the heat and humidy we've been having here. I've been avoiding going
outside until this passes.
