Why is water leaking inside my fridge?

10/10/2008 05:03 PM sarahk

I have a freezer-on-top Amana refrigerator of indeterminate age (it was in my house when I bought it, definitely not brand new) that is leaking water (what I hope is just water) into the interior of the refrigerator.

The water has been dripping pretty steadily for a few days from an air vent (?) in the "ceiling" of the refrigerator compartment. It comes out in a gush if I bump the area around the "vent" (which is just a few oblong openings 1/4 inch x 3 inches).

Is this a big problem? Should I pay a repair man $80 just to come look at it? or is this something that might be fixed by clearing (probably un-freezing) the defrost drain?

Any advice appreciated!!
