All depends on how much water is collecting. A lot of water indicated a leak from the ice maker. A small amount and it's probably a clogged condensate drain. Here's a YouTube video on a different brand showing a clogged drain, your may be similar (or not), but it might give you an idea as to where to look. Refrigerator dripping water inside FIX

Need to refill refrigerant

This is a fairly common problem with most Frost free Fridge freezers. The system relies on regular automatic defrosting, and if there is a fault in that, the cooling cycle is seriously affected. The problem could be as simple as a blocked defrost water drain tube, or more complicated such as a failed de-frost heater, defrost timer, or drain tray heater. To check and repair any of them, is quite an involved process which involves stripping a lot of trim, and other parts just to get to them. I would suggest that you get a qualified Refrigeration Engineer to repair it. I hope this helps?

It sound like the compressor is faulty, but without more info, cannot br 100% sure.

I would think that the compressor is either overheating, or faulty and cutting out on a Thermal overload cut out device fitted to the compressor. If it is overheating, then it could be due to several problems: 1] Ventilation to the compressor is poor, or blocked. 2] compressor Cooling fan failed ( not fitted on all models) 3] Condensor blocked ( Not fitted on all models) This looks like a small car radiator in the compessor compartment (if fitted?). Turn the fridge off, and leave it for up to 2 hours to cool, once cool, ensure that the ventilation is good around the compressor compartment, and try it again. If it starts and runs as normal it may have just overheated. If there is a fan fitted in the compressor compartment, then observe if it is working or not when you turn it back on. If the compressor cuts out again, as you have described, trhen it is more than likely that the compressor has failed and needs replacing. This is not a job that a novice can do, and will be expensive to have replaced by a Refrigeration engineer. I hope this helps?

It sounds like you have been checking the temperature during the defrost cycles. There are several defrost periods over 24 hours to keep the fridge Frost Free. If the fridge doesn't go back up from -8 to -20, then you may have a problem, but it sounds like all is normal. Also, please remember that if you freeze any unfrozen food, that this will affect the temperature for several hours, depending on how much you are attempting to freeze, just freeze small lots at a time. I hope this helps?

Without more information, it is difficult to determine the exact fault, but I would suggest that, if the fridge is brand new, you get in touch with your supplier, or the Daewo service agent, However, the fault could be due to one or more of the following faults: 1] Faulty Thermostat, 2] Refigerant leak ( not a problem a novice can fix) 3] Inefficient or faulty compressor ( not a problem a novice can fix). I hope this information helps you.

The plastic hose has likely failrd. These hoese are available and usually are routed through a race in the door making them easy to install DIY. First determine if the water is leaking before the in refrigerator cooler tank or after. Replace the hose.

No, but you should leave it upright for 24 hours before powering it on, so the compressor oil can settle back to the right level.
