I know on ours that the little plug on the end of the drain tube outside, gets clogged.  The evaporator tray then freezes over & condensate runs down the back into the veggie tray.

Sorry, just noticed your refer type, so my answer probably won't apply

Orman, on some models of the Samsung there is a drain tube for the defroster that they didn't extend the heater element down the tube far enough. This means that the drain tube freezes and the water can't escape down the tube and then overflows into the refer. Google it and there is a repair for it. I just used a piece of 14 gauge copper wire and extended it 4 inches down the tube. Problem solved. Marty

Same as Marty.   But, ours is in our condo.
