The drip pan keeps over flowing. Filter is new, drain plug clear. The drip seems to be coming from a metal piece at the back bottom of the fridge shown in picture metal dripping between the two screws. Also the strip between the doors where they close is hot to the touch ( to the point of burning us) please advice we are confused and worried about the heat issue. I have never seen this. -- posted from http://www.homeownershub.com/mainten...-i-763038-.htm using HomeOwnersHub's Web, RSS and Social Media Interface to home and garden related groups



Betsy nailed it, also the small timer motor that turns on and off the defrost cycle may be bad.



Hmmm,

If that is the case or refrigerant charge is low, it may burn out the

compressor. Right now the fridge is acting like heater box.

I would not assume the fridge is acting like a heater. As I
recall, it's normal to route the hot refrigerant lines up the
area between the doors to prevent condensation in high humidity.
It's perfectly normal for that area to be somewhat hot. If it's
hotter than normal, then it means the fridge is running more
than normal. But I'm not convinced it hasn't been this hot all
along and they just noticed it.
