Default Why does my fridge produce so much water?

A few months ago, we changed our fridge and freezer to a combined
fridge-freezer.
Apart from 'doing' the kitchen, one of the reasons for the change was the
large amount of water produced by the fridge. It was an L.G unit, and every
few weeks I had to empty the tray below the freezer compartment as it was
full of water. We are talking overflowing here, maybe a pint or so. I
passed it on to my mother as it was only around a year old.

Now the funny bit.

The new fridge freezer is also producing a lot of water now. Enough to
overflow the tray on the back designed to evaporate it. And..my mother has
had no problems with the L.G. fridge.


Maybe it's your habits! Not your Cloak & Hood garb BTW!

Such as putting hot food in the fridge in an open container. or
opening the fridge door a lot because of your routine. Maybe the new
fridge door doesn't close properly?

BTW I've never known a fridge (or freezer) with a condensate collector
that requires emptying, it's normally piped down to a dish that sits
on top of the compressor where it gets evaporated. This set up fails
frequently. Pipe gets blocked with slimy crud, pipe comes off, plastic
dish becomes embrittled and drops to bits. USW USW.
