Water collecting in refrigerator and ice collecting in freezer

Ice forming in the bottom of the freezer and water collecting on the refrigerator shelves and under the crispers. Whirlpool Model number ET21DMXDW top freezer model. Have cleaned coils and checked freezer for drain ports- there are no drain ports -so the water must be coming through the cold air vents that go between the freezer and refrigerator.

Sounds like you have a clogged defrost drain tube. removing back panel of freezer will give you access to drain trough, melt away the ice with a hair dryer, youll find a drain hole under there somewhere,pouring boiling water down the drain will clear it pretty quickly( i use a steam machine purchased from the infomercials works awesome, after you clear it and all water drain down tube wrap a piece of solid copper wire around the heater( black heater right above the drain trough) and stick it in the whole maybe an inch or so. now every time the heater comes on to defrost it will prevent the hole from freezing over

I have the fridge that it's all fridge ontop and freezer is on the bottom (newer version) and there is sooo much ice/frost that built up in the back wall of the freezer that I cant even chip it away...now my fridge part seems to not be cold anymore. What is the best way to get about 2 inches of ice/frost off my freezer walls?

Thre is no source of water within the machine - only ways of condensing it out of moist air that comes in from outside.

Have a really careful look at the doors. Make sure they fit properly, that the seals aren't damaged, that nothing inside is stopping them from closing completely and that no helpful child has left the doors open for a while to try to cool the room down a bit (and of course, check that no helpful child has spilt liquid inside and "forgotten" to mention the fact).

ICE FORMS IN FREEZER BOTTOM,

Keep the bottom of your freezer free from ice. ... The water from the melted ice and frost drains through a short tube and into a pan beneath the refrigerator, where it evaporates. Should the drain line become clogged, the water has nowhere to go and it freezes, forming a layer of ice in the bottom of your freezer.

Water collecting in the bottom of the freezer is usually caused form a condensate drain blockage. Remove the back panel and there should be no ice around the drain. if there is pour hot water in and around the drain to clear it and flush it out. This should get things fixed.

Water collects at bottom/Ice forms in top

Hi,

The defrost drain is located just under the cooling coils in the back of the freezer. You will need to unload the food and remove the shelves from the freezer. Take the back panel off from inside the freezer and you will see a hole just below the coils. Flush it with hot water using a turkey baster or small hose. See the link below for more details.

My kenmore is leaking water once a day .

You didn't say from where. Usually twice a day your de-ice heating coils come on and melt any ice that has accumulated. this water usually runs down the back of the ref. and collects in a small pan under the ref. Someime ice form around the hole that the water drains down through to go into the small pan. so then when the deicer comes on the water just runs down the bottom of the ref and onto the floor. My Kenmore does the same thing. Remove everything from the bottom of the Freezer look in the back at the bottom see if hole is clogged with ice. Remove ice then pour hot water down hole check occasionally.

Water leaking and ice in bottom shelf of freezer

Chances are you have a bad seal around the door if it's leaking from the inside which causes the ice to form as well, or if it's leaking from under the freezer you lave a bad heating element that evaporates the water collected in the pan under the freezer or you have a clogged hose that goes to the pan under the freezer which also causes the ice to form because the water has no place to go. Defrost and try to find a way to blow out the hose that goes from your freezer to the pan under the freezer and that should take care of your problem.
