Default stinking fridge

Mark, most refrig freezer doors have ice trapped inside them;
especially older ones with fiberglass insulation.

Water always drains out of the freezer door when I've had a
refrig turned off for a while, working on it. Comes out mostly
at the hinges, but also from under the seal and wherever else
it can find a 'drain'. 'Have seen it happen for several decades
now, and I consider it normal.

Hope that's of some help.

God bless,

Hi...

Well, we're trying some of the suggestions here. We emptied

the
thing and cleaned it all out. One curious thing - when the

freezer
started to thaw, water started coming out of the gasket on the

freezer
door. It's still draining after a couple of hours. Would

water have
condensed inside the door and built up after a while?

My wife's afraid to use clorox to evaporate inside because

clorox can
corrode metal, so she's going to use lysol. But she was

concerned about
the amount of water coming out of the freezer door. Anyone

else seen
this?

Thanks
-Mark
