Water has frozen at the bottom of freezer and water is causing a puddle under the refrigerator/freezer. Is a common problem? What is causing this? How do I fix this? How do I verify which model kenmore I have? Thanks, Problem King

Sounds like maybe two things. Your freezer isn't closing correctly and condensation is forming, bad seal maybe. Other option is you need to clean the pan on the bottom of the fridge. Condensation gathers there and it is normal, but if you alot of crud down there it will cause water to gather. Hope this helps...

Get a better model refridgerator by LG or GE. Kenmore's problems, and lack of support, are relentless.

Water is leaking out from the bottom of the freezer

Below the freezer coil is a drain trough. Sounds like it is frozen. Use a hair drier to melt it and poor baking soda with warm water down it.

Water Leak around left front wheel

I would check the defrost drain inside the freezer. this is real easy to do on this model refrig.

remove bottom basket (if it isnt frozen in place) and the shelf above it.
in th back just below the coil cover in the freezer section there is a ledge that will most likely be frozen over remove this ice using a hair dryer or hot water which ever is conveinant for you
you should uncover a drain hole flush this drain with hot water I use a turkey baster or large syringe to forcefully push water thru to clear anything in the drain
put it back together and you should be good to go

when ever the unit goes into defrost (which is about twice a day) the water runs over the ledge and then out of the door by the hinge puddling up next to the wheel. this unit has a hard fiberglass drain pan that is built in and unless it has been dropped i cant imagine the drain pan being damaged.
Let me know if you have any other questions Peyton
