Most likely you have a clogged defrost drain.

Angels, sounds like your defrost drain is frozen over. When the refrigerator is going into defrost it's draining through the front instead of the drain pan. You can remove the shelves and peel off the back cover and clear the drain by pouring hot water on the frozen drain hole. If you have a baster of some sort you could try to squirt the hot water through the venting on the bottom of the panel. Another way to to point a hair dryer on the drain hole. The best method is to remove the shelves and panel and make sure the drain is clear. Catriver..post back.

unplug it again , sounds like your drain line has frozen, instaead of defrost water going down the tube and under refrig in drain pan, becuse tube is frozen its draining into freezer compartment and eventually spilling out through front of unit. totally defrost unit and behind back wall of freezer youll see a metal trough designed to catch water, in the center (under the ice is gonna be the drain hole, pour boiling water down until it runs freely
SOURCE: ice collects in bottom of freezer
ive just actually just fixed our fridge freezer, pull all draws out take out two screw on back panel then remove then pull out the other panel with fan connected.
At the bottom under the coil you will see a shelf all this will be ice pour boiling water on ice and remove when it starts breaking up, you will then see a small hole on the left of the shelf pour hot water down every minute or so and if you have a syringe take excess water out before pouring more boiling water down after a while the hole will a clear up and the ice gone.

Change the filter each week until problem is gone. LG is not usually hit with this problem. good luck.
From what you described the defrost drain trough is frozen up. The drain tube or the opening in the drain trough is stopped up with some sort of debris and is frozen over.
Each time the freezer goes into a defrost cycle it melts the ice on the coils and the water has no place to go. The result is that water will leak into the freezer compartment, collect on the floor of the freezer and freeze solid.
