The internal drain may be clogged with debris, I'd check that if visible. If not that, may be defect from manufacturing process.

How to tell the model number

Is it coming out under the vegetable drawer? We just had a problem with water dripping down into the freezer. Check the drain at the lower back left of the refrigerator, above the bottom shelf to see if it is plugged. Water will be pooling there. If it is, use a turkey baster and warm water to flush it out.
I never found the serial number for our unit but used the model number from the manual.

Water dripping from the bottom of the freezer drawer

Hello,

Your unit has auto defrost. Remove the food from the bottom section and see if you have some frost/ice blocking the bottom vent. If it is blocked, using a hair dryer....remove the frost/ice and then you may have to remove the inside rear panel to unblock the drain hole behind the panel.....


Take care ......

A whirring sound and leaking water.

See if the drip tray beneath your freezer is full and if so, empty it. That may be the problem. Also, there is a panel between the freezer and the tray. See, if the path provided by the panel, for the flow of defrosted water, is blocked with ice and if so clear it also.

Water is pooling in the bottom of the freezer

Your evaporator coils frost up in normal use and every eight hours or so the entire unit shuts down and the defrost heater comes on to melt the frost. This cycle last about 20 minutes. The melted frost drips into a drain pan and through a drain tube to the drain tray under the freezer/refrigerator where it's evaporated by the condenser fan.


Your drain tube may be stopped up with ice at the upper end because it drains too slow because it's stopped up at the lower end in the evaporator pan under the unit at the floor. It can get dust and mold in it. Once you get the ice out at the top a little pressure with a turkey baster will usually clear it out. Flushing it out with hot water and clorox may help.
Make sure it drains quick enough to prevent refreezing. . The drain should be located below the evaporator coils on the lower back of the freezer

Freezer leaks water!

luvbug, Your refrigerator is "frost free" which means it is automatically defrosts after the compressor runs 8 to 12 hours. The defrost cycle lasts approximately 30 minutes. If it is in normal condition, defrosted water goes through the drain into the drip pan under the refrigerator and then evaporates. The problem you are having is one of the most common - the drain line is clogged up. To fix it you have to remove the freezer drawer, defrost and clean the drain. The drawer removal procedure described in the refrigerator manual book. If you do not have one you can find it there: http://www.amana.com/amana/jsp/manual.do You will see the drain hole on the freezer floor by the rear panel. To defrost it you can use your hair dryer. To make sure it is open, run a cup of very hot water through the drain. Reinstall the freezer drawer and enjoy it! Gendos....post it back
