A modern frostless refrigerator collects moisture on the evaporator coils. This is periodically "defrosted", and the water collects in a tray at the bottom, where it slowly evaporates. If you attempt to move a refrigerator by tilting it on a truck, you will discover this hidden store of water.
If there is water on the bottom inside the fridge, then the likely cause is that the defrost drain is clogged (usually with ice, occasionally with debris). This can be fixed easily, but it requires emptying out the freezer to access and remove the ice from the drain. The drain is located behind the grating at the bottom of the freezer, in the back.

What does condensation mean for kids?
Condensation is when a vapor turns into a liquid. That is why you see water droplets on or inside of items in a refrigerator. For instance, take droplets inside a jug of milk. While the milk is sitting out, some of the water content in it evaporates inside the container but does not leave since the lid is on. Then you sit in inside the refrigerator. That vapor turns back into water because the refrigerator is cold, and the liquid runs back down the inside of the jug.
What would cause your 3 yr old bottom freezer refrigerator to keep having ice on the bottom of the freezer?
The most likely cause is that the defroster drain is clogged with ice. During the defrost cycle, a small heater warms the evaporator coils, allowing accumulated ice to melt. The water is then collected in a drain, where it drips into a pan underneath the refrigerator, and evaporates. If the meltwater re-freezes in the drain, then during the next defrost cycle, more water will back up and freeze, clogging it further. Eventually, the water will overflow into the freezer compartment, resulting in this condition. If this is the cause, the simplest way to fix this is simply to pack all your food in a cooler with dry ice, and then unplug the refrigerator for about six hours. This will let all the ice in the defroster drain melt out. Put lots of towels around the bottom if you don't want a mess. If you are up for a fix-it adventure, another solution is to unplug the refrigerator, and remove the panels inside the refrigerator, then put a small immersion heater in the defrost drain area until it is clear. This way you may be able to avoid removing all the food.
Describe the process that occurs in a refrigerator?
what happens is that all the heat is taken out of the refrigerator, leaving it cool on the inside and warm on the outside.
Why would your refrigerator leak inside when humidity is high?
Condensation, just like your iced tea glass sweats because it is cold on the inside and the weather is hot on the outside. Humidity supplies the moisture for the reaction. Answer 2: Air from the kitchen, or wherever the unit is located, gets trapped inside the refrigerator. The cooler air inside condenses the moisture within the hotter outside air; the resulting moisture attaches itself to the interior walls of the refrigerator. This happens more often during humid days because there are more water particles within the air.
