Hi,
The drain hole is plugged with debris or ice... Just had to thaw my own out tonight, it was doing the same thing...
Take the bottom draw out and maybe the bottom shelf and then you will see the ice buidup in the back and on the floor...
Thaw it out and make sure the drain hole is open...
then you will be okay again...
if this is a side by side frige the water tube that runs inside freezor door pulls away from insulation causing it to have no insulation between the freezor and the tube alot of then you can thaw one time and there fine. disconnecting the water line at bottom of frige behind toe kickin front and usually is a push in an d release tab connectors or plastic threaded nuts blowing air through can use air compressor not at full blast works great and then once you have it flowing run gallions if possible though to make sure no water deposits no debrie to slow water down to give more chance to freeze oh and if it hasa filter make sure its update and replaced this will help also if still problem persists may need new door they foam insullat these things at the factory cant just move it or put more insulation inside door , door are spending too
You have a stopped up and or frozen defrost drain line. Pull the bottom drawer out and look for ice underneath the bottom of the back wall. This is where the drain hole is. Thaw this out and make sure that the drain hole is not blocked. Water should pour through this hole freely when it is working properly.
Clean the drain pan and drain line in the back of the freezer section behind the cover underneath the evaporator coil. (hint: use turkey baster with hot water)
Make sure water drains when you
pour it in. If it doesn't - also clean drain tube on the back of the
unit behind the cover. When done - put the tube exactly where it was.
Good luck! :)
Clear the bottom of the freezor so you can get at the drain. then get a turkey baster and fill it with hot water. Insert it in the drain in the bottom and squeeze it cleaning the drain. Several applications will solve the problem, and do not forget the refrigerator side as well.
this sounds like your freezer is operating properly, except that the drainage of the water when going through the defrosting mode is not draining properly, pooling on the bottom of the freezer and then freezing. Check the drainage hose for the defrost in the lower pan. I would remove everything, place in ice chest, let the unit completely thaw out and then inspect. I hope this is beneficial.
the drain in the back of the freezer is probably full of ice. you need to pull out panel and use heat from a blow dryer to unplug the drain. then take a small gauge copper wire long enough to extend into the drain a couple of inches and loop it around the black heating element then when it goes yhrough defrost it should keep this from reaccuring
I had the same problem. I called tech support and they were no help. Being a handy man I dove into the problem myself and discovered the problem. If you want this solution, I have pictures and information. Simply email [email protected] and I will send you this infomation.
