Condensation

If you have water accumulating on the ceiling of the refrigerator, it is usually caused by a clogged drain in the freezer section beneath the evaporator. The clogged drain will cause water from the self-defrost cycle to leak into the divider between the freezer and refrigerator. This water may then freeze and cause condensation buildup on the refrigerator ceiling. The solution to this problem begins with unclogging the drain. Generally, appliance repair techs would unclog the drain first, but it may also be necessary for them to remove the entire freezer/refrigerator divider to thoroughly dry the insulation in the divider. Occasionally they may replace the insulation to prevent a recurrence of the problem. This can be a complicated job – you may want to seek assistance from a qualified appliance repair technician.
