Nor-Lake walk-in cooler water leak

Possible fix is to completely defrost the freezer. Take out all the food and put into coolers or wrap in blankets. Then you can speed up the defrosting by placing pots with boiling water in the freezer and close the doors to let the heat do it's job and rotate more hot water as it cools. This can take several hours to get a total meltdown inside and out. Some freezers have internal drain tubes that freeze up and they can take quite awhile to thaw. You may need some old towels to soak up any overflow on the ground. Once you feel everything is up to room temperature you can wipe down the inside with a mild bleach cloth to kill any old bacteria. Hope it works for you.

you must have a small leak in the cooling panel thats were the water is coming from it needs replacing

The coil in the conditioned space is called the evaporator.
If the water droplets are forming on the ceiling around the evap, it is due, most likely, to the defrost cycle being too long.
Defrost cycle: compressor stops, evap fans stop, electric heaters in the evap come on to clear any ice/ frost on evap fins/ coil.
The ice/ frost melts and some of it turns into vapor. As it hits the cold ceiling surface, it condensates into water droplets. Defrost cycle could be too long. Usually 4 time aday and no longer than 30 minutes should be enough unless there is high humidity.
There could be another cause.
Normally, after a defrost cycle terminates, the evap fans do not come on, due to a delay control. This prevents circulating warm are due to the heaters. The compressor comes on and cools the evap down to, usually 20 degrees or so, and then the fans come on. What could be happening is, the fans are coming on too early and blowing the water driplet off the evap and onto the back wall of the unit.
A third item, is to be sure that the condensate drain is "P" trapped. The prevents warm, outside air from being drawn in and causing exess frost build up, thus excess water and vapor.

Good luck and hope this helps

Compressor 12/3 with 20 amp dual pole breaker. 220 VAC

Freezer 12/3 with 20 amp single pole breaker 120 VAC

look in the bottom of the freezer if there is water frozen it means your drain is stopped up

No choice but to move your food to a secondary unit & defrost the walk-in. If you go chipping around your condenser you risk more damage. Hopefully you have seperate breakers for you walk-in vs other cold storage areas.

You should check for air leaks around the door gasket or any other openings in the compartment such as where pipes or wiring is going through the wall. It sounds like a moisture problem from moisture being drawn into the compartment pass door gaskets or access holes.

not all causes are a FREON leak. is the compressor running

Yes if the evaporator drain is blocked or not attached correctly it causes the humidity to remain in the refridgerator. Just opening the door will cause the warm are to enter and cause the symtoms of rain if the water is not taken out the drain properly.Hope this helps JT
