Fridge Freezer Leak

greyc

My elderly mother has a fridge freezer that's probably about 15 years old. Recently she says that there's a small pool of water on the floor every morning but it doesn't seem to happen at any other times during the day. Is it perhaps a door seal, and is it worth getting someone out to look at it? Or would she be better off replacing it?

Could be condensation running down the outside of the fridge, it's been rather warm & humid recently.

if it is a fridge freezer with freezer in the bottom check the base and back of unit and see if any ice is coming through the insulation, if there is it will condense back to water leaving a pool, if that is the case you help it by putting some aeroboard underneath to nurse it along

Inside the freezer there is a trap that catches condensation occurring naturally, if this gets blocked with gunk , old food you get your problem. The water actually normally drips on to a tray over the motor and evaporates when it is working properly. A wire clothes hanger will free it out
