Water collecting in the bottom of refrigerator

You have a defrost drain blockage
Leaking Refrigerators

APPLIANCE 911

Check carefully for spillage from a container on a higher shelf. If it's VERY humid where you live, you may also be picking up condensate.

Is the condensation tray overflowing? Is water collecting in the bottom of it? Is it seeping out of the cabinet? Or is it dripping from the water dispenser? With no indication of where it's leaking from, how much water and for how long it leaks, there's a large number of possibilities.

Dripping from the water dispenser is almost certainly a bad solenoid valve, the rubber diaphragm is worn, sediment has collected on the seat or the spring is fatigued.

Water and/or ice collecting in the bottom means the condensate drain is plugged, best thing to clean it with is a short piece of 1/8" woven steel cable, sometimes called wire rope. Gently push it down the drain hole inside the box a few times and flush with soapy warm water.

If the condensation tray is overflowing and you live in a humid area it may be normal to have to empty it periodically. It may also be an indication of a door seal leak.

If it's seeping from the cabinet, it likely indicates soaked insulation, which is a serious efficiency problem. It's usually caused by an interior crack in the lining. Water is a conductor, so its presence in the insulation layer reduces its effectiveness.

If none of these fit your case, please provide more details.

Good Afternoon Friend,

I understand that you are receiving water at the bottom of your Frigidaire refrigerator, model# FPUI2188LF. What can cause this is either humidity coming from outside your refrigerator or maybe from the crisper drawers. Make sure your crisper drawers are set for a high humidity. Another thing that can cause moisture build-up at the bottom of your appliance is not covering your foods. Make sure that all foods and drinks are covered to cut down on moisture floating around inside your appliance. Hope this is helpful.

-Best Regards-

Sounds like your drain in the freezer is clogged. Try a flexible item like a guitar string to clear it.
BUT also make sure that the fan is working and blowing the humidity from the freezer to the fresh food section.

Hi,
Here is a tip that I wrote about how to fix your freezer so that the drain hole does not keep freezing up.

Water Running in Refrigerator from Freezer

heatman101

When in defrost mode, frost is melted and the water is directed to a tray at the rear bottom of the freezer. A tube is connected to the bottom of the tray so the water is sent down the back of the refer to evaporate at the bottom.

The tube gets clogged with gunk, water backs up and freezes. Then, at the next defrost cycle the water has no place to go except into the refer interior.

Unload the freezer, remove the bottom plastic plate, let the ice melt, unclog the tube, put everything back together and you're good to go!

you obviously live in a high humidity area.(or you are putting warm/uncovered food inside) but the answer is yes,or you could collect the water to use on you indoor plants.........better than tap water...

Sounds like the door is not closing properly so humid air is coming into the fridge OR door not closing properly and the humid air is condensing around the door so it is leaking the condensation OR

The water from the defrost cycle is not evaporating so it overflows from the evaporator pan above the compressor. You better call a service technician before getting some floor damage (Do not call A&E)

water drainage passage and pipe is blocked stop the refrigerator and clean the pipe
