Here is another suggestion. I have seen refrigerators have this same problem and it was caused by people setting the refrigerator fresh food section to cold. The drain line from the freezer freezes shut and does not have time to defrost and drain the condensate during the defrost cycle due to an ice plug. Several solutions was simply setting the temperature control to 5 for the fresh food section and the freezer section. These are the normal setting for a thermostat.
Sounds like one or more of you defrost coils behind the back wall have gone bad...
You have to purchase the correct coil set for that model, remove the back wall, replace them and put the back cover back in place after emptying the entire contents of the freezer...
Most non HVAC people would prefer a repairman to do it.

Hi, I can help you. The drain is plugged in the freezer section. Could I get the model #?
Some models need an after market drain heat strip added.
Please let me know and I can get you through tis.
Thanks
Vic

the defroster isn't close enough to the drain to be effective. remove the back wall of the inside of the freezer, remove the excess ice. clear out the ice from the drain using hot water and a turkey baster. there is a kit from whirlpool that uses a piece of metal and a screw around the defrost rod, but I found out that a piece of 14 gauge solid core wire with the insulation stripped off works great too. stick the stripped wire into the drain, 2 to 3 inches, and wrap the rest around the defrost rod.
