Thank you for listing a model#!! It really helps to see what you have and lets me diagnose it better for you.
Whirlpool bottom freezers with ice forming on the freezer floor is nothing new. It is formed most likely by an ongoing issue with the design of the defrost drain becoming clogged and there is a revised kit for it part# W10619951.
Whirlpool has extended the warranty of this issue only to two years from the date of purchase and will usually give you the part but charge for install. This is for most models and you would have to call them to verify if it is covered.
It can be put in in less then 10 minutes using just a 1/4" hex bit and a small flat blade screwdriver to release the clip on the old "slide" style drain.
Once installed,it is best to defrost the fridge for at least 24 hours (doors open and unplugged) to make sure all ice is melted from inside the unit.
The problem should not come back afterward
SOURCE: water leeking on floor
most fridges and freezers have a small outlet hole at the very back of the inside make sure this is clear should have a small tub at the back of your appliance on the outside try this
SOURCE: Icing up in bottom of the freezer
machine has a defrost issue, defrost mi metal or defrost timer
SOURCE: Water Freezing in bottom of Freezer and dripping out front of freezer door
this could either be a blocked drain from the freezer not allowing defrost water to escape or the defrost heater failing to turn on due to a faulty defrost heater or defrost timer not enabling the water to escape
SOURCE: freezer malfunction
Drain hole is clogged behind the panel that covers the coils. I found a peice of solder blocking mine. Water was freezing on the bottom of the freezer and leaking out to the floor.
SOURCE: Leaking water and ice build-up in freezer
There's a drain hole in the freezer side behind the bottom drawer in the back wall that must be clogh ; put hot water into it untill melted the ice and keep pouring water to clean the drain (don't worry , the water goes to an evaporative tray) .Keep the drain clean by putting every 3/4 months half a cup of clorox or bleach.
