Leaking fridge

[Alison Tooth]

Last week I bought a cheap secondhand fridge, which has been seemingly working fine.

This morning there was water coming out of a bowl-like thing at the back. (The drip-pan, is that right?) I turned the thermostat up thinking it seemed to be defrosting (?) and it frosted up again inside, but now there's water on the floor again.

There's no freezer compartment, and I don't know whether it's supposed to be frost-free or not.

So - do I just give up and take it back? (He will give me my money back for a month.) Or is there something obvious going on here that I can sort out?

TIA, ~~~~~~ Alison

Hi,

We don't know what style or model fridge you have...but many ?cycle-defrost? refrigerators with no freezer will defrost everytime the fridge shuts off...the leaking water could be as easy as a clogged up drain system/hose.
