Falling water hits something hot in freezer and causes sizzle sound

I notice a sizzle sound in my side-by-side (freezer part) tonight. I removed the bottom drawer and heard the sound coming from behind the louvers in the back. Saw slow drip of water sometimes hitting something hot and heard the sizzle sound. Haven't had any problems before - no icing up. Did notice tonight that there was a slight amount of water (less than 1 oz) on the floor on the freezer side. Any ideas as to cause and recommendations on how to fix? Thanks, bob

The sizzling noise is water hitting the defrost elememt and this is normal - shows the defrost system is working. if water comes on the floor of the freezer, this may be the drain for the defrost water is blocked. remove the freexer back panel and the drain is in the tray where the defrost water is caught. if it is blocked - usually with ice - clear it with hot water and make sure the water drains freely. takes some patience and maybe several attempts

By the way you discribe it, it sounds like it's going into defrost mode check and make sure freezer side isn't iced over or that the drain isn't iced over if it's a side by side drain should be at the very bottom of freezer side usually hidden behind a piece of plastic if it's a top and bottom the drain will in the freezer very back bottom also hidden hope this helps

I have a kitchenaid refrigerator with single door on top and pull out freezer drawer on bottom. When I open the refrigerator door it will swing all the way open and hit the counter top . How do adjust it...
It sounds like your refrigerator is out of level in the direstion of your door hinge. Under the front side, in behind the louver at the bottom will be two adjusting screws. Either raise on the hinge side or lower on the non hinge side. Or both. this should get the door to the point you should be able to let it loose and the door should, from any position, shut by itself.
Hope this helps.

sounds like your defrost drain line is clogged or unhooked, you will have to remove everything from the freezer and take the inside back cover off to check the problem.

when in defrost there's a heater under the evap coil in the freezer,all you're hearing is the water from the frost melting off of the coil and hitting the heater,this is a normal thing so don't be worried,you might even see an orange glow in there through the holes or at the bottom of the back inside freezer panel,it's just the heater doing it's thing,then the water goes into the drain and down near the compressor where it will evaporate,

My 12 year old subzero fridge (650) is not getting cold. this morning i discovered ice behind the fresh food drawer, removed it, it was running fine, temp 35. now tonight the temp is 51. freezer is fine....
Is it flashing vacuum condenser? Ice behind the crisper drawer shouldn't effect the temp. What is it set at? You can go to www.subzerospecialists.com and click on Tech Help for additional info.

Look at the drawing part #6 is the defrost timer.
Directly below that is a hole about the size of a dime its an access to a part of the timer you can turn with a flat tip screwdriver. There is a small removable cover there so here is what to do.

Open the fridge door and look up at the bottom of the control panel.

Remove the cover if it is there.

Slowly turn the timer you will hear it click until your unit comes on you will be able to see which way it turns as it is designed in a manner that a flat tip will only turn it one way.

That should get it going for a bit you will need a new timer.

Thanks for asking.

Kenmore side by side water leaking from freezer
You can buy a kit from whirlpool. In the kit is a metal tab that mounts onto the defrost heater. It is long enough to go into the hole. When the heater comes on for defrost the heat transfers down to the hole and keeps it from getting plugged up with ice. Part number 819043
