My refrigerator apparently leaks. I have no idea where all the water I just wiped off the kitchen floor is coming from, because it's not coming from anywhere visible inside the fridge. However, the right-hand side of the bottom shelf and the right-hand crisper drawer both had a fair bit of water in them, and the water got into the bottom of the gasket on the door and overflowed it, which is why the kitchen floor was wet. The rest of the refrigerator is perfectly dry; there's no water running down an inside wall or anything like that. It's not coming from the inside of the freezer either.

I hate leaks I can't find the source of. I guess on Monday I'll see if the property manager will deign to send the maintenance guy to come look at it. For now I've got a sponge sitting under the corner of the door, catching the drip coming out of the gasket.

Hmmm...

My fridge has a defrost cycle that drains to a pan under the fridge. The fan for the compressor blows air over the pan so the water evaporates, but I suppose if a whole shitload of ice were to melt at once, it would leak over onto the floor.
