Lots of moisture inside fridge...

[trumpet87]

We have LOTS of moisture inside ours while running, is this normal? Like enough to make a puddle after its been running a day or so. Over the weekend it even started growing mold on the inside wall, and it was completely dry and clean starting out. Prior to this weekend it had some mold in it because my husband forgot to wipe it out when he used it, so I got it all good and clean with bleach water, and dried it well, so the mold didn't continue growing from that. Just wondering if anyone else has this problem and if there is any way you can drain it, etc. Thanks!

2 things:

1) The seal around the refrigerator door isn't sealing tight.  Check it by closing the door on a dollar bill and then trying to pull the bill out with the door closed.  You should feel some decent friction as you pull the bill out.  Repeat this every few inches all the way around the fridge.  Anywhere the bill just comes right out with no friction is where the seal isn't sealing tight.

2) Use a thermometer and check the temp inside the fridge and the temp of some piece of food inside the fridge. You're looking for temps in the 34*F to maybe 40*F inside the food, and maybe up to mid to high 40's of just air temp in the fridge (as I just learned).  

Hope this helps.
