hi August.
Cause: A blocked defrost drain is one of the most common causes of
water leakage. This happens when food particles or other debris clogs up the drain hose, which can lead to ice buildup and, eventually,
water leaking out of the
freezer and
refrigerator.
3 common refrigerator problems you can easily fix yourself
The
freezer drain hose will drain the defrost
water into a drip pan at the bottom of the
freezer. When this pan becomes full, it will
leak water onto the floor. This is a regular maintenance task whenever the
freezer defrosts. Empty the drip pan during the defrost cycle.
How to Fix Water Leaking From the Bottom of Freezer
Why is my fridge leaking water on the floor?
If the
refrigerator is
leaking water it's possible that the
refrigerator has a clogged or freezing defrost drain. If the defrost drain freezes the defrost
water will overflow the drain and drip down to the bottom of the compartment, If enough
water accumulates in the bottom it can run out onto the floor.

We had a problem with the ice maker not making ice. We asked for assistance on this line and did what was suggested. We checked an opening at the top of the freezer and discovered it was frozen. We were able to defrost that and the ice maker started working. However, today there is water in the bottom of the freezer, which has frozen. I just checked solutions again and read that it might be that the defrost drain hole was frozen. However, I don't know where the defrost drain hole is located. Can someone help?
