Your defrost drain tube is stopped up. When it defrost two or three times a day the water can't drain correctly so it goes out the door. Drain tube is in freezer at bottom of back wall under the evaporator coils . It'll be stopped up and covered with ice. Clear the ice and use a tube or baster to blow it clear so it will drain to the pan under neath the fridge. A solution of water and bleach will kill the mold and mildew that helps stop it up.
