Default Fridge is leaking.
Brand: Electrolux
Model Number: GRT18S6AW2
Age: 5 - 10 years

Behind the light bulb there is a hose that runs through the back of the fridge. It appears condensation or a small constant drip is leaking down inside the fridge and causing water buildup (overtime) below the bottom fridge trays. should I plug up the drip? But then where is this water going, and what is its purpose? Been manually cleaning out the water but this shouldn't be! PLEASE HELP. Thanks Dan K

If it's not your ice maker water supply line it's probably your defrost drain tube which carries the ice melted during defrosting , under the fridge to a pan where the water evaporates. It shouldn't leak all the time because the freezer doesn't defrost but maybe twice a day.
