A few weeks back had some water dripping into the refrigerator from the freezer. I fixed the problem - or so I thought - by taking off the back plate of the freezer and removed the ice that had accumulated. Problem happened again about a week ago, , so I fixed it again.
It took a 3rd episode today to see the main problem: not just the visible ice, but the drain tube was frozen. I had not cleared that tube previously, but did so today.
So once again the problem has been rectified. I don't know what causes that to freeze over in the first place. Refrigerator is 10 years old. Is this a classic symptom of it being on its last legs?
We intended to replace the refrigerator some time in the next couple of years to the current rage of stainless steel. So, I won't spend much to pay for a replacement part if one is needed. Does anyone know if my most recent repair will just be a few-weeks respite before it happens again?
