I have a frigidaire freezer model #ffu20f9gw3 and it has started to not be frost free meaning there is an area on the back bottom wall that seems to be freezing over and so the water accumulates on the bottom floor & freezes there.I've looked under the freezer and there isn't a drain tube or a pan. So not sure what is wrong, have never had this problem in 12 years until last month. We bought it new and there never was a tube or pan. Any help--ideas ??

Make sure that the fridge is level. If the drain pitch is not sufficient, this will happen. The solution is cheap too!

Without any additional info, there are a lot of possibilities:
1. Condenser coil (underneath unit) is dirty and clogged.
2. Compressor is failing. (need A/C tech)
3. Metering device is clogged. (need A/C tech)
4. Refrigerant charge is low. (need A/C tech)
5. Door seal is broken (frost will form around door).
6. Defrost heaters are stuck on (replace defrost timer located underneath unit at front).
7. Condenser fan has failed (underneath freezer on back).
8. Evaporator fan (inside fan) has failed (ice will form on cooling coil).

This should get you started...

If this helps you, please select YES to the first two ratings questions. Thank you, and Good Luck.

freezers have safety devices to protect themselves. The compressor has an internal overload to keep it from overheating. some have external reset buttons and some do not. either way the cause must be corrected. if the freezer was low on refrigerant you would see signs of oil near the coils, tubing, or compressor. If there is no leak, it overheats when there is airflow restrictions(dirty coils) or a fan has stopped working. only a few screws keep you from seeing all there is to see. If it is clean and the fan is running, then the compressor may just be the culprit

Testimonial: "Thanks so much for your advice. Freezer seems to be working after being thoroughly thawed. Fingers are crossed."
