Another leak.. this time from fridge unit

Hi all-- if you saw my other post, I just discovered another leak.  Could definitely use some input for any solutions:

aft cabin mattress wet.  Figured rain since it's been a monsoon here.  Source along bottom of wall separating fuel tank from aft cabin.  I pulled that off and there's water coming from access panels above diesel tank.  Looking into the port lazarrette I see the problem. There is literally melting ice along floor of lazarrette coming from refrigerator unit.  

it's an Adler Barbour mounted on a shelf without any drip pan/drain etc.  so everything it running off the shelf.  

I will say that it's been running constantly -- I had it cranked up after a recharge and just realized I should back the thermostat way down. So it's been making ice in the lazarrette for 2 days lol.  

Question:  I'm thinking I could use some sort of plastic tray with right dimensions and plumb a drain into drain into bilge.  Does anyone have experience with this problem and have a solution?  I'm wondering if now that the thermostat is back off and I won't run as much perhaps the issue won't be as bad but still seems like condensation has to collect and go somewhere...

as always, words of wisdom greatly appreciated.
