Refrigerator drip from bottom of door

I have a small amount of condensation that leaks out the bottom door of my refridgerator. There is a small amount of water that collects inside at the bottom between the doors. Does anybody, or has anybody ever had this issue or heard of it. Could it be the seal not sealing correctly, or maybe doors need any adjustment. By the way, it is a two door fridge.

Any comments appreciated.

Mine does that in high humidity and I know that my seals are getting worn out. Hoping someone comes up with a good way to replace them as they are molded into the door. I would guess it is your seals. They get dry and brittle.

Thanks bob,
I can check that when I get back in. Never thought of the drain line.

OK, now that we have that much info. Open the back from the outside and there should be a pan back there, with a plastic hose laying in it. Pull the insert out of the hose, which is most likely clogged up and clean it. Water may come pouring out, so have a can or bottle ready.
Once done put the little valve back in and let it slow drip into the pan. It will never fill up and overflow, as evaporation always stays ahead of this happening.

Do this , and, check to see that the hole in the nipple attached to the drip pan is clear. On my "Nevercold" the hole was not drilled all the way through. The refer had been leaking for ten years when I got it and had it fixed the first day.

One other thought - check the items in your fridge - I had a 1/2 gallon of purchased ice tea develop a pinhole leak in the bottom (was still within expiration date).

Could be the seals. It won't hurt to give them a real good cleaning. It might have crud on it somewhere you don't readily see. All it takes is a small spot for air to creep in.

Have you checked the drain hose for clogs? Is the drip tray in the proper place for it to catch moisture and direct it to the drain hose funnel.
