Water is leaking into the bottom of the freezer from behind the grate and freezing in the bottom of the freezer

SOURCE: refrigerator

my kenmore frig side by side did the same I flushed the freezer drain like the instruction book says but it leaked on the floor after A week.
I pulled out the frig unplugged it in the back I removed the bottom black cardboard grille and vacuumed the underneath and removed the black drain tube and flushed water through it and put it back that solved the problem and took about 15 minutes to do I hope this helps people who are having repeat trouble.

SOURCE: water freezing up in the bottom of the freezer

your defrost drain is stopped up then when it defrosts in steed og going down the drain its running in the freezer floor remove the back panel in the bottom of the freezer and clear the drain hole under the evaporator

SOURCE: side by side leaks out front door on freezer side

try checking the tube that water drains out , it could be plugged with crumbs or old partials of food and causing the problem, This has happened with my fridge at one time , affecting the defrost cycle of the freezer and dripping water out of the door, The tube was located under the crisper in the back of the inside of my fridge, Hope this solves your problem

That's exactly what it it. 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.

May be a problem with the solinod valve in the back of the refrigerator. find the water shut off valve be hide the frige or under the sink to stop the flow and have a tech check the valve and the ice maker timer. letting the refrigerator thaw over night will put the freezer back in service until someone can look at it.
