If you find that water is collecting at the bottom of the refrigerator, the probable cause is a blockage in the drain hole.
Condensation flows down the back of the refrigerator and is collected in the chute located at the back of the refrigerator, where the water is then directed through the drain hole into a container located near the compressor. The water then evaporates.
The easiest way to clean it is with a cotton swab. The drain hole can easily become clogged. Be sure to clean the drain hole regularly, as it not only collects water in the refrigerator, but also often causes an unpleasant odor.
Another common reason why water can build up in your refrigerator is because your defrost pipe is clogged.
As with the drip pan, debris, mold or ice can accumulate, preventing enough draining during the defrost cycle of your refrigerator.
You can fix this by rinsing the drainage line with warm water. If you cannot remove the clogging source, you may need to replace the draining pipe.
If you have a refrigerator with a water / ice dispenser, there may be a crack and a leak coming from there.
The easiest solution is to simply replace the affected part of the dispenser.
