Is it because of the fridge is not getting defrosted? I saw some ice at the bottom.
Sounds like a plugged drain
You have a clogged defrost drain if there is a sheet of ice in bottom of freezer. Water from defrost normally goes through defrost drain into pan under unit where it evaporates. If this drain is clogged, water then accumulates in bottom of freezer where it naturally freezes. It eventually builds up to where water finds its way out door.
Not sure what model you have or the age, but it could be the door gasket. It could also be the door closure at the bottom of the hinge side being worn down and not closing the door all the way. These normally last about 15 years.
SOURCE: Bottom of freezer has water dripping into it
We had a similar problem. It ended up being a frozen pea that fell down into the defrost drain and was blocking the water from draining out each time the freezer defrosted.

try checking the tube that water drains out , it could be plugged with crumbs or old partials of food and causing the problem, This has happened with my fridge at one time , affecting the defrost cycle of the freezer and dripping water out of the door, The tube was located under the crisper in the back of the inside of my fridge, Hope this solves your problem

The accumulated ice you saw is of course the source of the water. The refrigerator will eventually rid itself of the excess ice and the problem will therefore disappear on it's own after a while. The drip pan is normally filled with only a small amount of water, and that is dried up by the condenser cooling fan under the fridge. The pan is removable from most units, but not without making a mess. I suppose you can make and clean up the mess one time and be done with it.

Hi,
This is most likely a blocked drain pipe - blocked with ice that is.
Remove all the drawers in the freezer - and stack them up.
With the unit switched off and unplugged, undo the fixings on the rear pannel in the freezer (behind the drawers)
Remove it to see the evaporator coils etc.
At the base there should be a channel - and a hole leading to the drain pipe. This needs unblocking wih a thin flexible cable. -net curtain support wire is ideal, and cheap. or use a short length of insulated cable.
Check it comes out at the rear of the unit onto the evaporator container - situated on top ofthe compressor.
Replace everything and switch on.
