Hi !
Water dispenser and ice maker working just fine. I have a water leak inside the freezer, and at the bottom, there is a small pool of ice which I've thawed twice and it keeps building up. When it gets too high, constant dripping causes water to overflow to the outside of the fridge and there is eventually water on my floor, right outside the freezer door.
I've tried locating the water tubing hoses inside the fridge, with no luck. Can you help ?
You need to remove the bottom two baskets, or more to make space. Using a hairdryer, defrost the back area. You should be able to locate a drain hole in the center below the freezer coils. This drain hole is connected on the outside to a drainpipe which has a p trap and often gets blocked up. You need to force water down the drain hole. You can use a turkey baster or similar type of plunger filled with water. Once you have cleared the blockage pour hot water till it runs freely. Hope this sorts your problem, don't forget to rate me.
I had the same exact problem with my Frigidaire side by side. The above soltion was excellent. However, I found that using a can of compressed air with the straw extension allowed me to feed down into the drain and blow out the last of the blockage.
The dispensing water works, but the ice maker does not. is it possible the triple inlet valve does not working ? thank you

I read about a similar case in your website last night, and I did just that... however - - - very dangerous using a hairdryer in such a wet environment ! but I must admit it worked perfectly.
After removing blocks of ice from on top of the trainpipe, and pouring hot water, it begun getting clogged again, so it must be blocked up. It's kind of tight for a tuerkey baster, but I will try to get a small flexible hose in there and then pour plenty of hot water to get it running again... Thanks a million for your tip !
Have similiar problem with model # FRS26ZTH. The whole bottom ices up. And the ice in the ice bin fuses togther. Now, just recently (after freezing up again) the fresh food side will not stay cold. Is this directly related to the clogging problem on the freezer side???
The freezer side of my frigidair is working well, but the right side does not cool well. Anyone know why?
