Default Fridge crew water leakage

so its a fairly new fridge and a couple of days ago i noticed there was water in the fridge part. as if something in the freezer leaked all over in the fridge. didnt really pay much attention to it cause it was really warm in my apt and figured might just be condensation or something like that. the water problem didnt stop and today i finally saw where the water was coming from... in the 3rd pic the top of white thing is where the water is leaking from.

here are the pics, any idea what this could be? no water in the freezer compartment. so i'm really confused about it. i googled and apparently could be a drainage pipe with ice in it. but i wanted to make sure before i trow away the frozen stuff in order to unplug the fridge to let the ice melt.

when ice melts, it turns to water.

I can actually sympathize with that.

Condensation forms on the cooling tubes from the compressor sometimes and causes ice on the coils. Unplug it for a bit and let it melt away the plug it back in and should be good. If you can leave it unplugged overnight or even a full 24hrs to make sure it's clear. If that doesn't work then I have a brick for just such an occassion...discount just for you.
