Water collects in bottom of refrigerator. Suspect frozen drain line. Haven't any info on it's routing. Do not understand condensate collection and dissipation on this model. Help is welcome.
I have this exact same problem on my Kenmore fridge. I have determined the problem is that the water is leaking from the freezer, which is on top of the fridge. Here are some POSSIBLE solutions (though I'll say they didn't work for me, others told me they fixed this problem by trying these things):
1) Remove everything from the freezer, turn the freezer OFF, and leave the door open (if possible) for 24 hours. Let all the ice melt and clean the freezer.
2) Clean the unit that cools the compresser underneath the fridge. There are several fans and heat sinks where dust is easily trapped. The best way to clean is with an air compresser or powerful shop vac that can blow all the dust out.
Again, neither of these solutions worked for me, but they were given to me by others who said it worked for them. My solution to the problem was to place a plastic cup in the fridge and let the water drip into it; then empty the cup once a week.
I hope this helps.

sounds like you have a clogged defrost drain tube. removing back panel of freezer will give you access to drain trough, melt away the ice with a hair dryer, youll find a drain hole under there somewhere,pouring boiling water down the drain will clear it pretty quickly( i use a steam machine purchased from the infomercials works awesome, after you clear it and all water drain down tube wrap a piece of solid copper wire around the heater( black heater right above the drain trough) and stick it in the whole maybe an inch or so. now every time the heater comes on to defrost it will prevent the hole from freezing over

sounds like you do have a clogged drain tube, its self defrosting but the defrost water is pooling under hte crispers instead of in the drain pan under unit.so you ll either have to remove hte rear panel of freezer and locate the drain trough/ tube, and defrost it allowing for water to drain down, o rclear all the tube leading down to the drain pan.

please contact the service authority because this is beyond your limit. to solve your problem, the back panel has to remove and only the service engineer knows the skill.......................sorry friend!

HI, First thing you do is remove the floor panel of the freezer. Do you see ice?
If there is ice, remove the rear wall of the freezer as well and start removing the ice. There will be down inside the drain hole also. A hair dryer works great for this project.
Please do not use sharp object/tools.
Now that you have the ice out of the drain, There is an after market drain transfer heat strip kit you need to buy and add.
Please let me know if I can help you. I have the kit on my web site www.whirlpoolpartssurplus.com
Thanks
