The problem I have is there is a vent in the fridge which is leaking water out, I suspect the drain line is blocked but due to the nature of the fridge am unsure as to where it is or how to get at it. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I cant afford a tech and should be able to do it myself.

Drain is In the Freezer section behind the back fan covers
Could be possible blocked drain or the Ice bulid up around evaporator which has blocked drain

Thanks for that, 2 screws to remove back cover which can be a little hard to unclip. The 3 or 4 press tabs along top edge of fan plate, best way is to release one in the corner and hold it out with your other hand. The apply pressure from that release remaingin tabs and the thing just drops away. Unplug the cable which is really easy and take out the plate. Hardest part is moving teh evaporator, it is only a lift and carefull pull towards you but be careful you dont crimp or overly bend the copper pipes. Once that is moved out of the trough you can see into it and I found the whole thing full ice. Due to teh perishables I had and lack of time I resorted to a hair dryer to hasten the process. The drain itself is in a small depression on teh left side of the trough, about a third of the way in at the back edge. Make sure that is also cleared before putting it back together.
Thanks for the help, another job done 😀 🙂 😉
