A couple of years ago it started to collect water at the rear by the defrost fan rather than go out the drain tube. This water would then freeze up and stop the fan and water would start to leak out of the freezer compartment. I have had several repairmen look at it and they can not figure out what is wrong. The drain tube is clear and I have levelled the fridge but it still does it. It is also a sporadic thing. It will only happen every couple of months. Does anyone have any ideas?

( i have added a condensate drain heater [ aftermarket ] in order to prevent freezing of that line. )
