I used the solid copper wire trick suggested by Ron - worked great. I also vacuumed out the coils at the top of the fridge behind the grill in case that was a contributing factor. No frost since!I later learned that Viking has a retrofit part to address this issue:http://www.allvikingparts.com/016774_000_SECONDARY_DRAIN_TROUGH_KIT_p/016774-000.htmIt’s designed to both ensure water reaches the drain hole, and that the drain remains unfrozen.

Replace thermostat.

Thermostat or control board(whichever your model has) most likely bad.

have the thermostat control checked

your statement suggests that replacing the unit would be a good idea 15 years and continuing troubles would be a good enough reason to junk it for a more reliable make

The ice on the bottom of the freezer is blocking a drain hole. When the freezer defrosts automatically, water drains out the bottom into a tray, where it evaporates away and you never see it under most conditions. The solution is to either defrost the freezer manually and let the ice melt, or pour some hot water into the bottom of the freezer to thaw out the ice and clear the blockage. If the drain is plugged because of some foreign matter, either method will make a mess, so have some towels at the ready to sop everything up if need be. If it is blocked, a can of Air Duster (like for cleaning electronics) might be able to blow the blockage out, if you seal the nozzle tube up as it is stuck into the drain. Most likely it is just ice blockage. You can access the drain tray (where the water goes to evaporate) by removing the grille on the front bottom of the fridge and peeking / poking around. You might want to keep an eye on it as you defrost the freezer or pour hot water in the bottom - it can over-fill quickly.
