Hi, I have a three year old Indesit BAAN12 Fridge/Freezer: for quite a while now I have had major problems with water dripping from the back of the fridge part(freezer is frost free) it drips down the side of the top tray and then cascades down the rest of the fridge, sometime it is more ‘icy’. I have checked the hole at the back and passage and its clear and tried various temp settings with no change. i am concerned not only as it is ruining food, but i have immune problems and worrying about food safety, bacteria, etc.
Re: Indesit BAAN12 Fridge/Freezer dripping water from back p
A few things to check. It sounds like a wet wall unit if it has a gutter with a hole going down
First thing is make sure no food is touching the rear wet wall. All food and trays should be at least 1cm in front of this wall, if anything is touching it will provide a path for the water to flow.The hole must be clear. Poor a very small amount of boiling water down it to make sure it’s clear.
Secondly is it level? make sure it’s not tilted forward at all, if it is tithe water won’t run in the gutter. In fact tilt back very slightly will be perfect.
Lastly do not put hot or uncovered food in the fridge. This will add moisture and causes excesive buildup.
In normal operation the rear wall will freeze over when the fridge is running then defrost in the times when it’s not, , the water from this should flow down the rear wall,into the gutter and away onto the compressor tray.
