I have a small amount of water appearing on the floor, on the right side under the freezer drawer. I do not see any water under the fridg. I've also found ice in the freezer on the right side. What might be the problem?

SOURCE: ice forming on freezer

The drain is plugged. This fridge will defrost every 8 hrs or so. When it does , it will melt the frost that has built up on the evaporator. This melted frost will run down a drain under the evaporator to a drain in the bottom directly under the evaporator. When the drain gets plugged the water cannot drain out of the freezer compartment. After several defrost cycles the melted frost will overflow onto the freezer floor. When the fridge starts back up it will freez this water is the bottom of the fridge. sometimes this water that is now ice will melt on the next defrost cycle and actually run out into the floor. You will have to unplug the fridge or turn it off, then remove the cover to the evaporator. Get a hair dryer and melt the ice aruond the evaporator and drain. Once the ice is removed, check the drain and try to clear it. Once clear, replace everything but the shelves. Plug the fridge back in or turn it back on. Observe and listen for the evaporator fan. It should be running now. When working on the ice on the evaporator always be carefull. The defrost heater can be damaged if up push or pull on it too much.

You need to switch the unit off for about 14 hours with the doors open and get a complete defrost. When all is defrosted, and water is wiped up. switch on again and check after 4 hours how "Stable or unstable the temperature is" Mostly, the door is accidently left slightly ajar and before you know it, frost blocks the evaporator then bad cooling is experienced. Remember to dry the water that would have collected in the tray on top of or next to the compressor. If it does not improve, call a technician as more complex testing is required looking for the defective component/s.

That water should have been drained away - instead it has frozen in place. That water can come from only 2 sources:
1. this is the water in the air that has condensated and accumulated over time - common occurrence in humid locations; close the freezer, let the ice thaw and mop it away.
2. the ice maker (or the water line) is leaking - you will have to check them. For that partial dismantling of the door and the inside of the freezer is mandatory, if you don't know how to do it then it's time to call a pro.

Just pull the power cord or circuit breaker as the refrigerator portion will keep cold enough for the 30 minutes it takes. Use a hair dryer with hose to defrost the lower box, get plenty of towels and go to work.
