Default Fridge worry

Yes but you cannot tell where it goes. Its on the extreme right back into
the corner of the tray. From other enquires I think it goes to somewhere
behind the fan in the freezer, which is described as the de humidifier fan.
The problem often is that the tube is blocked somewhere down its very long
run, and eventually it overflows and tips its contents into the innards of
the system, which probably ends up either seeping into the insulation, or
into the fridge below it. Without a proper manual its hard to say other than
that. I have the thermostat at normal, the temp in the fridge is around 5c
and the freezer seems to be -15c, nominally. We are now waiting to see if it
floods again.
There is no drain in the fridge, three people have looked now.

Obviously there will be condensation in any fridge, so the water has to

somewhere, in mine, unfortunately there is no drain hole.


Didn't you say that at the back of the fridge or freezer there is a tube
down to the compressor. It must come from somewhere inside of the unit and
its purpose is to probably drain water so that the heat of the compressor
evaporates it to atmosphere.
