water, bottom/inside of frig
Have a 15 year old GE frig, model TBX18KKB.
In the last couple weeks it has been accumulating water at the bottom of the inside of the lower refrigeration compartment. This unit has a freezer on top. I assume this is condensation and looked at the door seals, which all look good to me. Any ideas about this? If I don't mop up the water every other day, it starts flowing out the front when the door gets open. Thanks |

there is ice in the rubber line that runs from the freezer. remove it
from the back of the fridge, clean it out, replace and it will be fine |

there is also an elbow which hooks to the line at the back of the fridge -
this elbow gunks up over time and if you can get it off, you can clean it out and reinstall. I had the same problem and it wasn't fixed completely until I actually removed the rubber elbow wrote in message oups.com... Have a 15 year old GE frig, model TBX18KKB.

In addition to cleaning out the drain line ( it drains down to an evaporation pan under the unit) you might need to do a long defrost to get rid of ice in the freezer drainage area which blocks the water from getting to the drain line.
