I have a KitchenAid KSCS25FTSS02 and every week or so we've been finding a fairly large water puddle on the floor. Other than that there appears to be no other leaking. I have checked the water connections twice and there is no leak there. I'm wondering if this could be a problem with the defrost drain. Please advise. Thank you!
Is there a sheet of ice on floor of freezer? Sounds like a stopped up defrost drain.
Testimonial: "Yes, there is a sheet if ice on the floor of the freezer. Can you tell me how to get to the defrost drain to check?"

Drain is just under access panel to evaporator coils on back inside freezer wall.

Either the water filter isn't seated properly or there is a crack in the tubing or the water line isn't seated properly in the coupling behind the grill at the freezer door. Also, inspect for breakage in the line in this area as well (coupling area).

Apparently it is the drain behind the freezer panel on the inside and it is blocked. It needs to be unblocked and cleaned. You remove the food and the rear panel on the inside of the freezer. With a hair dryer (carefully) remove all ice build up and then unblock the drain line going to the pan under the refrigerator. The drain line can be cleaned with bi-carb and hot water (not boiling).

Yes, you are correct, that is a drain. Use a turkey baster with hot (not boiling) water to flush out the drain tube until water will flow out into the drain pan under the refrig. (where the air blown over it will cause it to evaporate)

Look for obstruction at the drain tray for the freezer. Common to have plastic wrap sucked into that area.Or gunk in the drain line. Blow through line to insure the gunk is not an issue.

probably rubber hose from tub to pump broke, access from back or bottom, (cabrios are open bottom) pump in rear. there is a recent bulletin about tub ring not channeling water from dispenser completely into tub

I have a very similar problem with model KFIS27CXMS5. Water all over the floor... Could you tell me where the defrost drain is in this model? And is it a “owner-fix”, or should I contact a repairman?
