Hello there,

Your drain is plugged with dust or residue. Can you remove the drain plug/pan and clean it out?

Unit runs but will not cool. Followed troubleshooting diections in manual with no luck. Wondering if there is a refridgerant recharge path which is not in the manual

recharging with gas will not be in the manual as it is done using pressure gauges and is a job for an experienced refrigeration technician
call one in as it may not be a gas problem but compressor not running or a blocked tx valve

Waterleaking from front right lower corner out of small opening in bottom. Stops for days then starts again for an hour then stops dripping for days

Don't know where you are located but there are a few possibilities

1. Is the unit sited in a warm high humidity area, if so you must ensure that the doors are kept closed as much as possible. Very warm areas with high humidity will produce excess water, you may just have to live with this.

2. Are you putting products in the cabinet that are not sealed (film wrap), open product loses water to the cooling system and can produce excessive condensate.

3. Is the cabinet set too cold, factory setting is 2 deg C (36 deg f) to 4 deg C (40 deg f) this makes the cabinet work harder and produces more water

4. Are the door runners etc clean, this can misalign the doors and let warm moist air into the cabinet

5. Is the condenser clean, this is the small radiator on the end of the cabinet, clean it gently in line with the fins with a soft brush and vacuum cleaner, if this is dirty it will make the unit run longer and produce more water.

Hope this helps

Drainage

The amount of condensate it is producing is dependant on how humid the air is it is cooling. The more humid it is the more condensate you have.

Everstar portable ac fills the overflow water bucket in one day. Why?

Air conditioners cause the moisture in the air to condense on the evaporator coil. The water that is created needs to have somewhere to drain. If the unit is in a humid environment, it will create allot of condensation. This kind of operation is not uncommon.

Water leaking from the front-bottom of the freezer drawer

A faulty door gasket will definitely cause excessive condensate and running time. There is also a door heating system which is from heated refrigerant circulating around the area where door gasket meets cabinet. You should be able to feel a certain amount of warmth in this area. If not there could be condensation again from cold leaking out of the gasket and being formed on the actual cabinet.
