Water puddle when unplugged

I have a 25+ year old Kenmore refrigerator without an icemaker in my rental unit. I unclogged the defrost drain and that stopped water accumulating in bottom of the refrigerator. I checked the temp of the freezer (0 degrees--if it is less than 0 degrees I do not know) and refrigerator (40 degrees). Problem: What causes a little puddle of water on the floor at the front left corner when it is unplugged? I only see the water after I unplug it.

Answer this question I have this problem too

0 degrees for the freezer and 40 degrees are normal; temps for proper food storage, when you unplug it is it a big puddle? Or small just sounds like condensation buildup falling down to the ground.

Not a huge puddle about a 3x3 at bottom left corner on the floor and only when I unplug it. Do not see water when it is running. Trying to check out since my tenant moved out. I will check the condensation switch when I go over there. Was wondering if the freezer was getting ice build up inside the door for some reason?

ice build up will happen over time, where youll have more ice that food in the freezer, its often recommended that the freezer be unplugged; to allow melting of of ice and prevent damage to the appliance. Since you are a landlady, and already do this everytime a tenant moves out; to conserve energy and avoid paying electricity for nothing. Is this a new occurrence? Condensation is normal as hot air meeting cold air causes this; seems thats what it is .
