Clean it. You probably have a large dust collection in, under and on your units underbelly.
You should have a collection pan, underneith, that collects the runoff water and the heat from the componits will evaporate it before it fills too much.
You could also have a leak in the plumbing system that supplys your ice maker. When your valve opens, you should be ready with a flash light inorder to watch for any drips underneith the unit.
Could be a simple fix of just tightening up a bolt, or could be a repairman issue.
Good luck.

Yes, you are correct, that is a drain. Use a turkey baster with hot (not boiling) water to flush out the drain tube until water will flow out into the drain pan under the refrig. (where the air blown over it will cause it to evaporate)

I read this on-line and it worked for me - - pour HOT bleach water down the drain once you get the ice out. I had this problem for ages and would periodically clear the ice out of the bottom of the freezer but since the bleach water went down that hole it has been clear for months. Of course I discovered my s/s had been recalled for a water problem.
The GE recalls are a joke anyway - a credit toward buying another GE product. Nope, I am replacing my GE's one at a time with a different vendor.

Your drain is frozen up and so every time unit goes into defrost the water refreezes in the freezer's bottom. You either have to shut fridge off completely and let it dethaw or use hot water and an ice pick to hurry up the process. The drain is located in the very back of freezer. You will have to pull out the bottom drawer to see it. Good luck
