This is a known problem. There is a drain that allows condensation to escape to the bottom of the unit where it will evaporate. Ice accumulates in the drain causing it to clog and the moisture drains to the freezer bottom.
The solution is to empty the unit and defrost it for 24-36 hours. The ice in the drain will melt allowing the unit to work as it was designed. To avoid future problems make sure the doors are always kept shut. Ours clogged after our son left the refrigerator door open on day.

Water is collected at bottom of basket in freezer. What can I do ?

Hello,


The water is from the melted frost of the defrost cycle. The drain at the bottom of the back wall of the freezer is blocked so instead of the water draining into the pan where it will evaperate,it's pooling on the freezer floor and freezing, in many case when the floor indent is full the water will leak onto the floor.By pulling the refrigerator out from the wall,there will be a tube behind the service panel on the right side when looking at it from the rear,that tube can be removed and cleared,then clear the nozzle it connects to inside the freezer.

I hope this helps you to stop the leak,
Gene

I have an LG fridge (LG LRBC22544) that collects water underneath the crispers. It freezes (almost 1 inch thick) and then melts. Once it melts, then it leaks out the door. This reforms every 3 weeks or...

I have had the same problem. In my case, its the little water tank behind the left crisper. The tank has cracked (twice now) which means replacement (again). The water leakage gets so bad that it leaks into the freezer causing ice up problems in the rear.

Water collecting and freezing in bottom of freezer

Hi, Remove the rear inside panel of the freezer and locate the drain hole under the evaporator coil. Remove the ice and flush the drain hole with hot water to make sure it is free. You can try running a soft wire through the drain also.
I hope this helps you. Please let me know if I can assist you further.

Amana bottom freezer: water leaking & ice build-up

There should be some kind of drain at bottom of freezer compartment to collect and run off any condensate that collects during defrost cycle.. Clean out the drain and snake out the line that leads from it. Right now the liquid is collecting where it should not and it will leak out the gasket when you have enough of it.

GE TFX20JR side by side/water leaks out freezer during defrost

Yes, you are correct, that is a drain. Use a turkey baster with hot (not boiling) water to flush out the drain tube until water will flow out into the drain pan under the refrig. (where the air blown over it will cause it to evaporate)
