Often the cause of this is a little bit of ice getting stuck in the tube from the freezer to the fridge (this allows water to collect and drip into the fridge before it can evaporate). Get a small container of warm/hot water and a paper towel or two, and try dribbling a bit of water into the hole in the freezer (be sure the bowl is in place in the fridge) and see if you can use the water and a wet paper towel to clean out the tube and dislodge the ice. I was troubled by a dripping fridge for a year before I found this trick--absolutely no dripping since then, a couple of years later.

Thanks for tip. I found the ice dam and removed it. Finished it off with a little bleach & hot water flush. Hope this gives me another 7 years!
