0 Hello linda_lewellyn2, thank you for your post! I understand that water is collecting in your Frigidaire refrigerator, FRT18P5AQW1. Self-defrosting refrigerators dispose of the water generated during the defrost cycle, usually via a tube or channel that directs the water to a pan at the bottom of the refrigerator. From the pan, the water normally evaporates. If the tube or channel is clogged or obstructed, the water backs up and leaks into the inside of the refrigerator compartment. Then the water builds up at the bottom, inside of the refrigerator. When the water has built up for a time it may spill out of the front of the door opening. Typically defrosting your refrigerator by turning it off and leaving the door open for 30 minutes fixes the problem. Otherwise, clear the drain tube or channel and allow the defrost water to flow down to the drain pan. I certainly hope this troubleshooting tip resolves your concern. If you have any additional questions, please feel free to respond.- Chris
