Default Condensate leaking from freezer to refridgerator compartment
Brand: Whirlpool
Model Number: ET1FTK
Age: 1 - 4 years

Not sure of the age because we bought it second hand.
Water leaks through the vent coming from the freezer compartment.
Acts like it should be going into a drain cup somewhere (had this problem with another brand fridge a few years ago) but because we bought it second hand I have no idea where it is or should be or what it looks like, or even if I am correct about this problem on this brand.
All I know is if we don't have a catch basin placed on the top shelf in the back it fills all the shelves and the bottoms of the drawers in a couple of days time.
Please help!

there is several reasons this can occur. 1. clogged drainage system, 2. evaporator can be partially freezing: meaning compressor is defective, or there is a leak in the system & finally if the molding or gasket on/in refrigerator is no good, water/condensation will occur

Ok, the first and most obvious I guess would be the drainage system. Where would I be able to locate it on this fridge?
