Frigidaire Referigerator - outside water

Every week or so we find a small puddle of water on the floor just below the outter edge of the door. The gasket looks good, and there is no water inside the refrigerator what so ever.. the freezer is clear and not frosted. A local dealer said that since the unit is 7 years old.. it probably should be replaced as a repairs to problems of this nature are expensive.. never would say what the problem or repair would entail...A seven year old refrigerator should not be doing this.. Any ideas on what might be causing this?

Frigidaire Model Number FRT13CRHWO

The water drip seems to be coming from within the door?? Don't understand that unless it is condensation as the refer is physicially located next to the back exterior door and a thru wall interior / exterior vent in a manufactured home. House is air conditioned and it has been HOT HOT outside.. back door has been opened frequently duringh hot weather.. KIDS...

Is there water pooling at the bottom inside the fridge compartment beneath the drawer?

Any moisture on the front surface of the cabinet where the doors close against?

*IF* that is the case, the insulation inside the door may be saturated with water and no longer insulating but is an extremely unlikely possibility IMO. Most often a leak comes from somewhere on the refrigerator itself.

No water except a small puddle on floor

There is NO water inside the unit under the drawer and no moisture on the outside bottom of the door..

Do you have a dog or cat that could be peeing there?

I asked if there was any moisture on the front edge of the refrigerator cabinet.


If you really think the moisture is coming from the door, someone may need to remove the inner door panel and inspect its insulation.
