Does Anyone Know About Condenser Refrigerators

[willyboy]

I have a Candy upright refrigerator which is serving me well (thus far).
Excess water comes out of the back via a tube, into a "removable" drip tray, where it should just evaporate as it is situated over the compressor (which gives off warmth).
The tray is now starting to overspill, as the water is not evaporating quickly enough.
Pulled the whole thing out to check the tray, and it was installed on an incline, so leveled this up a tad.
However, water is coming out quicker than it can evaporate, so still more mess on the floor to wipe up.
I know and can see exactly what is happening, but is there an underlying cause for this?
Does it need a new part somewhere along the line, or is it just saying that it is on its way out and need replacing?

I suspect, without being familiar with your particular brand (I'm in the U.S.), that the "excess water" comes from one of two causes. One, simply having humid summer weather conditions that causes condensation on the inside of the fridge every time you open the door. Not much you can do about that.

Additionally, most drip trays as you describe are overflow from the automatic defrost portion of the freezer (if you have one). The plates that collect the ice (primarily from again, condensation)are heated intermittently to melt the ice collected, which then drips down to the tray. Usually, such moisture doesn't overflow but, if coupled with summer time condensation it could happen.

Long way of saying your probably stuck with the situation until the weather gets colder and humidity level decrease. Either that or don't open the door unnecessarily… Best of luck!

Check door for unimpeded closure and for good seal on gasket. The more moisture invades the interior the more condensation will take place.

Thanks clan and mibn.
You have taken the time to reply, so l'm sorry for not replying sooner.
As we speak, the temperature over here is unbelievable.
I may have been jumping the gun as all now seems ok.
Will see how it goes over the coming weeks.
