You probably have some kind of 'blockage' in your ventilation lines/hoses.
Some of the folks out there have had success by blowing out the system 
from the little drain tube at the bottom of the fridge with a compressor.
The usual complaint is spider webs.  You can prevent this by using the
handy-dandy flue vent cover that can be had from Euro-American (former
Delta-Six Ind.
