Two days ago, I stepped into a puddle of water in front of my side by side. I found that the condensation pan was overflowing. We are elderly, and very carefull to not leave the doors open too long, but we had house guest for the previous week, and a big family dinner with everyone bringing food, and the frig has been full, (is about empty now although freezer is loaded, but not stuffed). I could not get too the pan, so I took a stick, and threaded a towell past obstructions into the pan, soaking the towell, then retrieving it, wringing it out and repeating till the pan was empty. Figuring it was a fluke, because of the heavy use the previous week, I thought everything would be fine now. Lo and behold, two days later I again stepped into a puddle, and proceeded to repete the tedious draining procedure. Now I fear I have a problem, it has been unusually hot here, and the house AC running alot, and I thought this should help in drying the pan, but filling in two days, what could be my problem? I have made a search on the forum, and the main thing I have found with my search, is water and ice in the bottom of freezer and frig, this is not the case here, both sides are ice and water free on the bottom. Oh by the way, the fan at the rear of the pan is working. Thanking iin advance for any help I can get.

Hi.

May I add my thought.
There is the water filter housing and water line directly above the drip pan and sometimes it drips.

Thank you.

Simon.

Well evidently problem is solved. I cannot say for sure what solved it, as we had just moved into a new home, and when moving the unit, I cleaned up the dust under it (although I was amazed at how little there was) as well as I could. I have not discovered a method of cleaning the congested area under a frig, other than compressed air, and blowing it everywhere, which is not a good idea in the home. I have been monitoring it close, by leaving off the kick plate, and laying on the floor in front of the unit, and looking at the leval of water in the pan.
the frig has always closed tight to the point, at times it is difficult to pull the door open.
I did eject the filter, and push it back in securely although I could observe no sign of a drip there.
I very much appreciate the help offered from simon, and denman, although I wish I could ID the source of problem, for the benefit of future problems of other forum participants.
