Frididaire side by side.

I have a Frididaire side by side with water and ice in door. Recently I noticed water on the floor in front of refrig. There is also a small plastic water hose with a push in connector very close to the water. So I used my hi tech leak detector. I wrapped a napkin around the fitting, no leak there. Then I discovered water running down the front of the door, the door with the water and ice in it. Got more leak detector off kitchen table and put it around the water faucet in the door and even the hole where the ice comes out, no leak there.

Then I discovered by opening and closing the door, water came out of the bottom tray below the water/ice. I removed tray, it was full of water. OK, I thought I found the problem. A few hours late, water came back. That's when I concluded, the water was actually condensation caused by lack of insulation under the tray. The cold from the freezer was making the plastic cold and the summer humidity was causing a condensation problem. So I put a small dish towel in tray to insulate the plastic and condensation problem is solved. I hate the thought of taking the door apart to insulate under the tray. Might see if the boss will allow me to drill a hole in tray and inject great stuff under tray. Then put the original plastic cover back in place and it will hide the hole I need to drill.

Have anyone experienced a similiar problem with refrigs and condensation?

Yep, I have seen that with several. Cheap ones and high dollar ones too. My son has one that is pretty simple and wasn't expensive. It has a pan underneath that's designed to catch condensation and evaporate. With all the rain and humidity we have had he has to empty that thing every few days. Don't know the solution to that one. Once the air gets a little drier things will be back to how it was supposed to work. I don't know what that thing would do in Houston or some place like that.

Another "with all the technology advances in the last 100 years someone should have fixed it" problems...

Condensation is a major problem in Indiana certain times of the year. I've learned to deal with it. Some on YT are metal roof fans, I'm not because of condensation.

A 30 year old metal roof on a local jail has to be replaced because of condensation rotting the plywood that was put underneath the metal. Some will say, the jail roof wasn't installed properly, so what, tax payers are going to replace it, not the person who installed it. Yes, metal lasts and it's great for dry climates. I had a 35 year shingle roof on my pole barn, solved the condensation problem, and the law of averages in Indiana I will have strong winds or a hail storm. I have full coverage on my shingles and only pay deductable. My insurance company will replace the roof long before shingles go bad.

I have a 90 year old tenant who insists on leaving her back door open. Warm moist air gets in the basement, and yep condensation and musty smelling. Can't convince some people condensations exists.

One day I had my garage door open, it was raining. I saw condensation on my metal anvil. It shows up on anything metal , even concrete floors, when conditions are right.

I do not have condensation problems in my house.
But my a/c runs and runs.
I did have to install a drain pipe under my house to prevent all the water my a/c removes from the air from puddling under the house.

In my sheds is a different story.
I have one with a shingle roof and one with a metal roof.
Anything metal in either shed will rust if I do not take full precautionary measures to prevent it.

Do you have a door heater switc?. Different mfgrs call it different things but it controls the operation of heaters that prevent sweating during high humidity conditions. It should be there somewhere. Still have your operator's manual?

We don't have switches on our door heaters. The door heaters are for around the door gasket, not where I found condensation. You can feel the bottom tray is cooler than the rest. We use a/c all the time too. Set the fan speed on low to cool the air more and dry it out better.

I have a small condensation pump on my A/C in the basement. It like a small sump pump. It pumps condensate to the drain.

sometimes the last cube will lodge in the trap door and sit there.
it will either eventually melt or permit warm moist air to enter the freezer section.

That's what I thought too, but moisture came back and no ice was used. Like I said, a dish towel over the cold section stopped condensation form forming.

George, I think your problem is ,when your freezer defrosts the water goes down to a drain,
and a lot of times your drain gets plug up.Google up your problem and it will tell you how to
fix it.I had the same problem.

Sounds to me like your defrost tube is plugged. You need to go thru the back and see if you can access it at the pan. Blow thru it to unplug it. Had one exactly like yours doing the exact same thing and that was the fix.

I repaired AC and refrigerators to pay my way through college. Trust me, this has nothing to do with evaporator drain. Condensation is forming from the water/ice cube insert in door. Not a water leak, condensation problem. I made sure there was no water coming from inside the freezer door.

Yes back on the farm we had a pan under the fridge ops I mean the ice box we didn't have electric until 45 and we had to dump the pan every day. So the problem you have is nothing new. LOL
