LG Fridge freezer Ice formation

We are getting regular ice build up in the base of the freezer section, had the back panel out but couldnt see any problem. Believe from this forum that the cause could well be a blocked drain, I couldnt see a drain when I looked allthough I wasnt aware of what to look for then, where would the drain be located?, I dont know the model no off hand but it is approx 3 years old, has single doors.

Below the evaputator coils should be some type of pan or drain system ... the drain most of the time is in the middle of the pan... it you see anything with ice defost should be NO ice in there .. can use hair dryer once defrosted u should look for some type of drain whole.. once u think u got drain open pour small amount of hot water down to help clean and test if drain is open

Hello, The drain behind the back panel in the freezer is frozen or blocked up. Remove the back panel remove as much ice as possible and pour boiling water in the bottom section under the evaporator. be careful not to touch the aluminum it will cut you or break. you will see the drain hole sometimes it takes a while to thaw all the ice. Hope this helps and please rate me Thank You.

Ice collecting under bottom of Freezer drawer/ seal round door intact/ food staying frozen/ Ice is cleared periodically but then builds up again
Your defrost drain hole is clogged. Look for the drain hole in the bottom rear of the freezer section. Turn off the fridge. Heat the drain hole with a hair dryer and clear the ice. Pour a quarter cup of bleach into the hole.

Side by side fridge not cooling, not making ice
if it seems like the evaporator is getting cold then your sealed system should appear to be ok. you need the evap fan to transfer cold air into fresh food section. if not turning u need to replace fan motor. make sure your not getting to much frost build up on the evap.

Fan in freezer very loud noise
There is probably an ice build up behind the plastic rear panel. The ice build up gets so thick that eventually, it obstructs the fan and then you get that loud noise as the tips of the fan are chipping away at the ice.
What you need to do is to remove the rear panel and thaw the ice build up. To remove the rear panel is usually only 2 screws at the bottom.....you will find that the panel is difficult to remove due to ice build up behind it, so gentle heat from a hairdryer is a good way to accelerate the thawing process....once the panel is removed, you will see the ice build up......mine was about 2 inches thick!!!
I used the hairdryer to thaw it all out and then once cleared, switched it back on and have never had a problem since.
By the way, my F?F is a Beko CDA563FS......the one with the water dispenser on the front and frost free.
Hope this helps

LG frost free fridge freezer GR-359sq
defrost drain is blocked - probably with ice. take the back panel off inside the freezer and melt the ice off with a hairdryer then follow up with hot water till it flows away freely. this takes some patience. if fault reoccurs then get back to me

Freezer shuts off when door is opened. Why does it do this? I have a model 253-.284322800 Kenmore upright freezer. Serial number is WB83839263. Manufacture date is 9/2008. When I open the freezer door the freezer shuts down. Sometimes it will reset itself when the door is closed and sometimes I have to manually reset the alarm and temperature to start it up again. What has failed?
