KENMORE 53504300 WATER ON FLOOR AFTER WEEKEND AWAY, FREEZER THAWED OUT, REFRIGERATOR SEAMS COLD, REMOVED REAR CARDBOARD COVER, FAN IS FUNCTIONAL, HEAR INTERMITTANT CLICKING AT SMALL WHITE BOX AT COMPRESSOR (RELAY?) COMPRESSOR IS HOT AND DOESNT SEAM TO BE WORKING. COULD I HAVE A RELAY PROBLEM OR A COMPRSSOR ISSUE?

There is a drain hole and tube that goes from the upper center of your freezer, down the back of your freezer to a pan on unit floor. This drain will freeze up occasionally and send the water to your freezer floor, where the water freezes. Unplug your unit, pull out your unit from the wall, remove the rear cover plate / cardboard, you will see the drain and pan at bottom of unit. Now you need to find a way to remove ice in tube. You may only be able to go from bottom up. Try warm water from top if possible. Try a cloths hanger type rod to break the ice from the bottom. The final suggestion is to thaw out the freezer. I hope this helps you. Good Luck Friend.

I had a similar problem with my Whirlpool model 6ED25DQFW side by side refrigerator/freezer with ice maker/water dispenser. Water was slowly pooling under the refrigerator under the freezer section. The defrost drain pipe was not blocked, the condenser fan was running, the drip pan was not leaking.
The source of the leak was found to be the icemaker solenoid block plastic body which had a pinhole leak.
To fix requires either plastic welding, or replacement of the solenoid block plastic body.
To access the solenoid block firstly requires removal of the cardboard cover, located at the lower rear of the refrigerator.

most likely problem is a failed condenser fan motor. pull your refrig away from the wall and then remove rear cardboard cover. you will see a fan motor that cools the compressor and condenser coils. heck to see if the fan is jammed with insulation or other objects. if the motor needs to be replaced you can place a portable house fan blowing int the rear to keep components cool until unit is repaired. thanks peyton

Sounds like a defrost failure.
Look on the back wall of the freezer from the inside.
If it is covered in ice your defrost system has failed.
Also check the fan motor in the freezer.
If it is not running it must be replaced.

Removed inside rear and floor panels of freezer (ice machine also) as ably advised by your tech. Found ice damming he suspected underneath floor panel. Thawed overnight with pot of hot water in freezer. could see that small rear drain tube was iced shut; why all water going into fridge below. Avoided floor mess from thawing water flow to evaporation pan on floor by tilting unit forward on blocks and laying several old towels inside freezer door to catch water that would run out. Also placed some in front at base of unit on kitchen floor. Continuing to thaw pipe to unclog, it is iced some way down, again as tech said it might. Will reassemble and be careful with freezer setting, in case it may have been too cold. Also, some food crumbs had found their way behind panel near this drain tube and may have fallen in to block it. Will clean out any remaining.

check the Ampere of the compressor. if below 60% load from the rating found in the labels your freon gas is out.

in the freezer remove the cover plate where the fan is an insert a pipe cleaner into the drainage tube opening.

Drain hose clogged. Removed rear panel and blew out hose. draining fine and no water leaking into bottom of freezer or floor. Be sure to thaw out drain and tray before you return to service.
