Default Fridge worry

I really don't know I think fridges are ganging up on us, after me doing the
suggested action of turning off with doors open for a long time and then
starting it over, It seemed my water problem had gone, that is until
yesterday morning when although the fridge was only 6 degrees, the puddle
was back. In your case though with a drain hole could the tray its supposed
to drain into be damaged cracked or rusty, depending on what its made off,
you can usually feel it on top or over the muter by the looks of things. Its
supposed to evaporate into the air harmlessly, not go on the floor.
Obviously there will be condensation in any fridge, so the water has to go
somewhere, in mine, unfortunately there is no drain hole. The self
dehumidifying seems to rely on circulating air off through the same fan
dehumidifier which does the freezer and of course that works fine, but the
fridge suck out vent appears to not be sucking as much as the cold air in
is blowing!

Bah humbug. I hate throwing away things that may simply need somebody to
unscrew the right panel and clean out a pipe!

Normal fridge - not auto anything - chiller plate at rear - ice
compartment
in the top.

Yesterday there was a pool of water on the floor! Wife had recently put
some shopping in it. Cleaned it up - poked out the drain hole. Motor was
warm - thermostat would not call for the motor to run!


An hour later it was running again!

Thinking it through, could the motor have a thermal overload and it had
been forced to work too hard?

Should I provide remedial training for my wife and affix a notise saying
door must not relain open for more than 30 seconds?
