Condensation in fridge

Why is there so much condensation in my fridge tray here?

Was the door left open or might the rubber seal be worn and leaving a gap? Another possibility is that the circulation fan is gone...

Well condensation comes from warm air hitting a cold surface. So start from there. Simple explanation might be, as other poster said, the door wasn't closed properly. Maybe dry it up, make sure the door is closed and monitor it

in the photo you can see a groove at the back of the fridge.

there should be a drain/weep hole at the bottom.

this may be blocked causing the issue.

it can be cleaned using a plastic straw.

youtube can help

It's been like this from almost new.

I'll take a look at the groove. I had thought I done that previously.

The weep hole is clear.

If something Is set in the glass top then there is no condensation.

Door seals are fine.

Interesting, I can see that now in the original pic with the juice carton and pack of bacon!

I wonder if it's just cold air being circulated in the main part of the fridge during the refrigeration cycle that's creating a temperature difference (colder air at top of glass and warmer underneath in the drawer). Any food products on top of the glass could be acting as buffers and preventing the glass temperature from getting as cold under them. Would be interesting to see if leaving the bottom drawer open a bit helps alleviate the issue.

As to why we don't see this issue more commonly, I wonder if there's a lack of air circulating through the lower drawer for some reason. Could there be a circulation fan that's stopped maybe.

Agreed. My guess is the rubber seal or perhaps the door not closing properly because of badly placed objects inside the fridge.

Or the fridge is on its way out and failing to cool the whole chamber. 😖

Or you have an uncovered plate of tepid food in the fruit/veg drawer. 🤪
