The story:
I am proud to live in a home in Vancouver Canada which came with a Stainless Steel Whirlpool Gold refrigerator .
However I have some bad news about our Refrigerator.
The Bad News
Symptoms: Leaking water, temperature too high, water on food, spoiled vegetables, temperature is too high / food is too warm.
Why it is Happening
Freezer has a drain system for the auto defrost.
Reason for the symptoms: Auto defrost ice clogs the back of the freezer and the drain hole. Water leaks down into fridge and ice clogs the air vents
But there is Good News: It can be fixed.
Good news: Found a video on Youtube which explains the solution. Thanks to CTSCAPER for his video on Whirlpool Leaking Refrigerator Repair:
