    It’s possible that there’s a frozen or clogged drain line in your freezer or fridge, or that the condenser fan has burned out. If there’s a crack in your drip pan, water can flow out onto the floor.

    It depends on the design of the drip pan and drain, how humid the conditions are, and a variety of other factors. If everything is functioning properly, there should never be enough water in the drip pan to leak out or overflow.
