Hi Bill:
Could be that the drain for the auto defrost is plugged.
The hose on the back goes to an evap tray under the fridge, and the top is connected to a funnel at the inside back under the freezer compartment.
Grunge and nasty things can plug the components. Clean and blow out and it should work.
Cheers

Why does ice build up in the bottom of the freezer, then leak on the floor.

You did not post the make and model number but there is a defrost cycle that the unit uses to defrost the freezer. When it goes into that cycle the ice on the coils melts and is supposed to run down a tube to a tray in the bottom area behind the kick panel. If that tube is plugged or the tray is full, the water ends up in the bottom of the freezer. Unless you have an ice maker in the unit that is not working right.

Water in bottom freezer

Sounds like possible defrost drain. Water builds up over time. Need to pull evap cover and see if ice is build up in tray. If so defrost drain, should fix issue

Leaking water and ice build-up in freezer

There's a drain hole in the freezer side behind the bottom drawer in the back wall that must be clogh ; put hot water into it untill melted the ice and keep pouring water to clean the drain (don't worry , the water goes to an evaporative tray) .Keep the drain clean by putting every 3/4 months half a cup of clorox or bleach.

Ice build up on bottom of freezer. Water leaks out of freezer possibly from melting. Water leaks onto floor of kitchen.

Your problem is possibly one of two things. The ice maker is leaking or the defrost tray behind the rear panel inside freezer back wall is clogged with ice or something else. If you know its not the ice maker unplug the refrigerator and remove the back panel to see if the drain is blocked there, Let me know, Sea Breeze

Kenmore 795.755744

I have a trio 7755 and had this problem within 6 months of ownership. It was the valves that fill the ice trays not completely closing when tray is filled (continued to drip--building up an ice block on the back wall and in the ice tray. I replaced the set of valves in the lower right (when looking at the back of the fridge). Problem solved, has worked perfectly since.
