We find water leaking out of the fridge. In trying to determine the source - we found that ice is building up under the freezer drawer - and it seems to be running down the back of the freezer originating from under the piece of plastic cover at the back of the freezer and then freezing on the bottom of the freezer. When the build up of ice starts to hang over the lip of the freezer it starts to melt and cause a puddle on the floor under the fridge. Is this caused by a malfunctioning compressor, condensor and evaporator? thanks.

sounds like you have a clogged defrost drain tube. removing back panel of freezer will give you acess to drain trough, melt away the ice with a hair dryer, youll find a drain hole under there somwhere,pouring boiling water down the drain will clear it pretty quickly( i use a steam machine purchased from the infomercials works awesome, after you clear it and all water drain down tube wrap a piece of solid copper wirearound the heater( black calrod heater right above the drain trough) and stick it in the whole maybe an inch or so. now everythime the heater comes on to defrost it will prevent the hole from freezing over

Check to see if
there is any frost buildup in the back wall of the freezer. If so, it is not
defrosting as it should.
If you don’t know what these are then unplug the machine and let the ice
melt in the freezer overnight with the door open. Then try it the next day, if
is cooling fine then you need to have a service person replace one of the above
items.
the water is coming from the freezer
when is defrosts. the drain line is in the back wall of the freezer and may be
clogged up with ice. clean out the freezer and pour some hot water in the very
back of the freezer, this will hopefully unclog the drain. if not, then you
have to take the back wall out of the freezer to get directly to the drain
line. there should just be a couple screws holding it; it is just an aluminum
or plastic panel.

Is it supposed to be self defrost? If so then either underneath the freezer needs to be cleaned. coils if dirty will cause freezer not to work well. I that doesn't help you might have a freon leak which would make it under charged and would ice up like that.

since this problem is discussed over and over on various models, I point you to a detailed manual that shows (with images) how to solve the frozen drain pipe issue.
