In the back of my refrigerator I can hear a dripping noise. I pulled my fridge out and saw it was coming from a clear/white plastic pipe and dripping into the bottom of the metal part of the fridge. Don’t think that it’s the drip pan because it is attached to the frame.
Below are some pictures of what I’m talking about

That J shaped plastic tube is the drain tube. The pan below it that it drips into IS the drain pan. The pan isn’t designed to be removed. The water it collects will evaporate from the heat from the compressor and the condenser fan blowing air across it helps cool the compressor. This is the design used most often. The j shape of the tube is designed as a P trap. The bottom of the J will always hold water. This water keeps warm air and dust from going up the tube. It’s a brilliant design. Everything is as it should be. I hope this helps.

I was hoping to get an answer, too....it drives me bonkers --it's almost incessant.
I was sure something had to be leaking!
Yes, adding a hose that fits tightly should remove the dripping noise
Add a hose to what to stop the dripping noise

@Sbongile Lorraine The dripping noise is normal. 60 years ago you wouldn’t have had to listen to the drip drip drip because you’d be defrosting your freezer, full of ice and frost, by hand. It wasn’t a fun job. Messy and time consuming. Now refrigerators defrost themselves. The dripping is the water running into the pan down below. Check your door gaskets for any tear. Make sure it’s sealing when closed. The more tge door is opened, the more frost will build up, meaning more dripping.
