I started with the water leaking out of the freezer side, I found the drain iced over, but I can't seem to clear it... I've use significant amounts of hot water and completely defrosted the freezer side. How to I check the other end of the drain and where does it go? I don't have easy access to the rear of the refrigerator, but completely removing it appears to be my next step. Any insight would be helpful. Thanks
I had to remove the shelves out of the freezer then removed the plastic casing located in the side rear, this will expose the cooling cords, underneath the cords is a medal drip pan, I removed the single screw and removed the medal drip pan this gave me access to the drain, I used hot water which seems to have cleared up problem.

I use a turkey baster and force hot water right down the drain hole. If still blocked I push a coat hanger wire down the drain, usually works but you need patience with the hot water.

We have the same problem. We found the drain tube kinked near the catch pan at the bottom of the fridge. We cleared the tube by defrosting the fridge and placing a small hair dryer in the fridge blowing on the drain. Even after clearing the drain it still freezes up once in a while. It seems to be an inherant problem with this model. If I find a permanent fix I will post it here. I hope this helped.

I can't find the drain for the freezer, but have water frozen at the bottom of the freezer.
I have the same problem, but don't know where to look to locate the freezer drain line. Is it the same tube that supplies water to the ice maker?
