[SIZE=3][quote=mlv2148;251395]Not sure of the actual age of this refrigerator, but it is a Magic Chef RB171TFA.----NOT RF. I have a leak into the fridge fresh foods section of the refrigerator. I am assuming something is clogging the drainage hose from the freezer that leads to the tray. I am not sure how to get access to the hose itself. I have tried removing the panel in between the fridge and freezer but one of the bolts appears rusted and frozen in there. I tried WD-40 with no luck. With a drill alone it caused the drill to smoke with the torx bit. I am pretty sure this is the panel i need to remove to get to an area to clean out the hose. any ideas or other possible suggestions involving parts or techniques would be greatly appreciated.[/quote][/SIZE]
[SIZE=3]The water in the fresh food, is it in the bottom of the unit ,under the crisper drawers ?[/SIZE]
[SIZE=3]This style unit was famous for water under the crispers, it was usually due to something against the back wall of the fresh food compartment, re directing the defrost water and causing puddles everywhere.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=3]You could also have a clogged drain plug , or drain tube under the crisper bins in the center bottom of the floor.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=3]I’m sure you’ll find the problem in one of those areas.[/SIZE]
