Every 2 to 3 weeks, water pools on the floor, at the front corners of the refrigerator/freezer. It is not a lot of water, maybe 1/2 a cup on each side. Also this is a freezer on the bottom unit, and ice about a 1/4 inch think accumulates on the bottom in the freezer. We clean up the water on the floor and chip out the ice, but in 2, or 3 weeks it happens again.
Dear Bill if its a no frost refigerator sounds like you might have to take all the drwars out unscrew or detach the back plate and defrost the fridge manually and then unblock the drain hole which goes to the back of the fridge into a plastick container ontop of the compressor which in turn will evaporate from the heat of the compressor . Hope this does the trick .. good luck. Tony
I had similar problem with Kenmore Elite model 795.7755 fridge with bottom freezer.
I found suggestions here to be somewhat confusing. What I did was:
FIRST - unplug fridge, remove the lower back panel (just 6 screws -- work from the back of fridge, not from inside the freezer box, will need to disconnect water line if present)
SECOND - pull out the white drain tube -- it is tied to side of coils (to improve heating I guess), but can pull the bottom free. At the end there is a rubber cap with a small **** that lets water drip into the evap pan. There was a bit of food in the cap, easily removed.
THEN - while I had back off, I blew air through the coils using a yard blower. This seemed to get all the dust off from the coils (I found vacuum cleaner not effective).
Hope this helps someone.
