I recently bought my son a Frigidaire ffps4533qm. He calls me yesterday saying that it is leaking water all over his floor. It is only a month old...what could be the issue? Also, is there a drip pan on this model? He could not locate one

A leaking fridge needs to be repaired quickly as it can lead to water damage in your home or business. In many cases the cause of the leakage is a clogged or frozen defrost drain hose. In other cases the fridge might be leaking due to a faulty water inlet valve.
Defrost Drain: If the defrost drain is frozen or clogged then water will overflow the drain trough and eventually make its way onto your floor. If the drain is frozen you can try flushing it with hot water. Also check for blockages.
Water Tank: The water tank assembly could have a leak. It may be very small so check carefully. If a leak is found the water tank must be replaced.

Check it out for more info on your fridge leak. Good luck!
Possible the drain hole inside (there for when it defrosts, and if there is one), is clogged. My main fridge just had that leaking issue caused by this. I used turkey baster to purge.
