Sight unseen I can think of three possible sources of excess water in the food compartment.

1. Do you have an ice maker or water through the door?
If so, check to see if excess water is filling into the icemaker, spilling over and running down through the freezer floor into the food compartment or perhaps a water line to the door that has a leak.

2. Check the inside back wall of the food compartment. Some refrigerator have a small trough near the top of the food compartment on the back wall where moisture accumulates from the freezer defrost system, then flows down a tube through the base of the food compartment and on into a collection pan under the fridge. If the top of that tube is obstructed the water will spill over and end up in the bottom of the food compartment under the crisper drawers.

3.Normally ice droplets forming on the underside of the top of the food compartment are an indication of a defective door gasket or improper door alignment; which will result in excessive outside moisture laden air getting into the food compartment where the moisture will condensate and later drip to the bottom of the food compartment.

Normally the accumulation of any appreciable amount of water would take considerable time to build up. The thing i find puzzling is that you say the crisper drawer was nearly full. Normally the crisper drawers have a shelf covering the drawer which would make it difficult for water to drip and accumulate in the drawer.

You may ask other members of the household if someone intentionally put water in the drawer to soak it for cleaning, or perhaps put a mild solution of water and bleach in to sanitize the drawer.

If you can further narrow down the source of the water please post your findings and we will try to help you correct the problem.
