Kenmore refrigerator with a bottom freezer leaks water on floor
Hello Wayne,
You already mentioned the reason for the excess water. When the freezer automatically defrosts itself once every 24 hours the melted water drains down through a tube down to a water pan at the bottom of the refrigerator where it sits and supposedly evaporated by the fan back into the atmosphere. However in your case the excessive dust is preventing the evaporation phase to occur by the fan. You need to vacuum as much of the dust as possible and your problem will disappear.
Good Luck

My kenmore is not pressure sealing
the problem is that the compressor is not working
call a technician for a proper diagnosis
and it is not a pressure sound but a vacuum sound as the door when closed drops the temp inside the unit and that creates a vacuum making the door temporarily hard to open
Freezer compressor not able to start and noisy.
It sounds like the compressor is locked (seized). The current overload is doing it's job by opening the circuit. Take a current reading, on the common leg, while the compressor is trying to start. The locked rotor amps (LRA) for that compressor will be indicated on the compressor tag. If it's drawing LRA while trying to start, you need a new compressor. Which is the costliest part in that unit and requires specialty tools to replace.
Can a kenmore frostless 19 cause the outlet to trip off?
Have you tried any other outlets on a different circuit? It might be that there is already close to max load in the circuit and when you plug in the freezer it's enough to trip the circuit.
The next thing it could be is that the breaker is weak and needs to be replaced.
