Is the water coming from underneath or from the back?
Regards
Hi
Ok if the water is under the salad drawer then the chances are the drain hole at the back will be blocked.
Take the bottom shelfs out and the salad drawer and look at the back wall. There you will see the drain gutter and a hole in the middle of it.
Get something and poke it into the hole and push it down. This will clear the drain hole.
Then test it by poreing water into the drain gutter and make sure it drains away.
Once its clear then just keep an eye on it and see how it goes. Fingers crossed its just a blocked drain hole caueing the problem here.
If you need anymore info just get back to me.
