Is there a drain hole under the crsper drawers if so see if it is pluged. And leting water to drain to the drain pan under the frig. I hope this will help. Jim

It shouldnt need to be defrosted if it is a frost free refer. It sounds like your defrost drain line is clogged and backing up. Check the drain pan underneath refer.

Hi,
Here is a tip that I wrote about how to fix your freezer so that the drain hole does not keep freezing up.

Water Running in Refrigerator from Freezer

this is just condensation as the fridge is not frost free.try placing a sheet of tissue in the bottom of the salad drawer and one under it, take out about once a week to keep dry

small drain hole/tube inside (behind crisper pans) is stopped up. Clean out with flexible wire, etc.

Mine clogs with a soft fungus mat but rust actually sounds better. I run a stiff wire like an unwound hanger into the hole and open it up so the water will drain onto the tray made to collect this water underneath the fridge. Last time I left the wire in place with a long handle and I haven't had water to mess with for many months now. My hole is between the two crisper drawers and when I get into either of them the wire gets a jiggle and I guess that's all it takes to keep the hole clear so the water can drain like it's supposed to.

Otherwise the fungus builds and builds until it sluffs off as a wad and plugs up the works on a regular basis. Too funky for sure.

Here is a link to help you resolve the problem I also have an even better link but on-line is moving slow at moment. Anyway you will need to take the part out from back and clean the blockage., Let me know if this helps, Sea breeze

open the freezer compartment loo for ice build up on floor of frezer especally towards rear behind back panel. sounds like you have a clogged/frozen defrost drain tube. removing back panel of freezer will give you acess to drain trough, melt away the ice with a hair dryer, youll find a drain hole under there somwhere,pouring boiling water down the drain will clear it pretty quickly( i use a steam machine purchased from the infomercials)
