Whirlpool Freezers - Answered Questions & Fixed Issues
I own a RCA Whirlpool
I have the same problem. Could be 2 things. 1) The top lid may not be all the way down sealing. I had to out some weights on top to make it seal better.
2) The lid seal could be cracked, partial missing or just not sealing. Good luck trying to find a new seal. I'm still looking.

Try removing the strap holding the drain hose underneath that drains into the pan. Otherwise it acts like a p-trap and holds water that then insulates the upper part of the tube. Condensate water eventually freezes high up in the tube and backs up everything pushing the condensate water into the bottom of the freezer where it freezes into sheets. Leaving the drain hose down keeps air in the tube all the way back up into the freezer area. This seems to keep the condensate water flowing freely into the bottom pan. The air in the open condensate tube does not seem to have an ill affects. Also, you can add some stranded bare copper wire around the heating element just above the drain tube inlet and then push the tail off the copper wire down into the drain tube hole. This helps keep any water in liquid form flowing down the drain pipe.

Locate a factory authorized technician and have them service it under the warranty, if it has one. The manufacturer should have a complete list of companies that do independent techs. I used to be a tech. for 35 different companies, so they are out there. I’m happy to assist further over the phone at
