There's water forming on the ceiling of the vegetable bins in the fridge. What can prevent that?

call a repairman to unblock the drain. your fridge might stop working if you let it go long enough

She has condensation "on the ceiling" of the veggie bin, not water leaking into the fridge from the freezer compartment. My guess is she has a lot of watery veggies in there giving off water vapor. Try lining the bin or wrapping the produce with absorbent material like newspaper or flannel (or paper towels if you must). Not plastic bags, which foster rotting. Also, check this out: https://products.geappliances......19186

This. I keep my produce drawer lined (though I don't seem to need the absorbent lining in my fruit drawer).

Same.
I think fruit just doesn't emit the same type of moisture as cucumbers, zucchini and leafy vegetables.
I line my vegetable bin with paper towels and wrap cucumbers individually.
Plastic bags are the big no-no as Zaq said.
Also, sometimes there is an adjustable humidity control for the bins that you can adjust to the drier setting.
I still get some condensation on the glass above the veggie bin and I have to wipe it down about once or twice a week.
