Condensation Inside Refrigerator

Right now we have really bad heat and our refrigerator has everything wet on the bottom shelf. I put paper towels in there before and yesterday everything was soaked. So I put all new towels in and everything is soaked again this morning. Is there something that needs to be done with the temperatures for the refrigerator and freezer knobs? They both go from 0-4. Thanks for your help.

You need to balance the freezer section too and not pack it too full. Air needs to circulate. Wipe the fridge out with vinegar and baking soda water. Do weekly. You can grow fungus easily if you don't. Make sure to wipe the seals clean too.
Make sure you vaccum the condenser area and keep a space a ways from the wall for air. A hard working fridge is a short lived fridge.

Had the exact same problem a few years ago. The guy who came to fix it said that I was putting in too much heavy stuff in the door of the fridge which made the fridge door "drop" a little out of alignment and wasn't sealing well. He just tightened the door and told me to keep heavy things in the fridge and not on the door shelves. Never had a problem since.The cost was only for his call out which wasn't much. Hope this helps.

Can anyone tell me what might be wrong with my refrigerator? It keeps getting a lot of water on the shelves. It isn't very new and I was wondering if I need to get a new one?
