Look at the door seal. We had that problem and found that the seal had torn at the bottom allowing more outside (i.e. moist) air into the fridge. Replaced the seal and ended the problem.

the drain tube is blocked up.. if its a typical frig on top type like i have well you do this: remove the light covers in the back of the refrig.(the bottom part) and then you see a thing that is attached to the back of the wall of the ref… its shaped like a funnel and goes into a hole in the back wall… it is suppose to catch the melted waster from the freezer and funnel it down to the drain pain under the refrig.. if you pull this funnel off clean it out… then take a turkey baster(a large plastic thing that looks like an eye dropper, cost about $2.00 at walgreen drugs or $1.00 at most dollar store… fill up a bowl of hot water and use this turkey baster to flood out the hole in the back of the refrig… remove the bottom grill(black metal covering on the very bottom of the refrig. and look under there with a flashlight for the drip pan.. if the tube in the back of the wall of the refrig. is not blocked then the water will drip down into the pan… if it does not drip then take a flexible wire, like a 3 to 4 foot piece of old lamp cord and feed it into the back hole of the ref. to push out any debris that might be blocking it….. this should cure the problem and last for about 5 to 6 months… it did for me… the moisture is the melted ice from the defrost cycle on the freezer top and is not flowing down to the drip pan where it will evaporate into the outside air…. hope this helps.

If it were condensation, it would be forming on the ceiling of the refrigerator section and only collecting under the crisper drawers once it dripped down. In that case leaking door seals as Rileyesi suggested could be the cause. If water is just ending up there, than Jim’s suggestion of a plugged defrost water drain is a very likely cause.
