The evaporator coils frost up in normal use and every eight hours or so the entire unit shuts down and the defrost heater comes on to melt the frost. This cycle last about 20 minutes. The melted frost drips into a drain pan and through a drain tube to the drain tray under the freezer/refrigerator where it's evaporated by the condenser fan.


Your drain tube may be stopped up with ice at the upper end because it drains too slow because it's stopped up at the lower end in the evaporator pan under the unit at the floor. It can get dust and mold in it. Once you get the ice out at the top a little pressure with a turkey baster will usually clear it out. Flushing it out with hot water and clorox may help.
Make sure it drains quick enough to prevent refreezing. . The drain should be located below the evaporator coils on the inside of the freezer at the bottom of the rear cover.

Temperature of the refigerator recently got colder

I believe your auto damper may be defective and stuck open, Let me send you the service nanual and a page to go toand look it over. The auto damper has a thermostat coil inside and sometimes the probe leaks the freon out of its pigtail leaving the damper stuck open oe closed and some time frost will cause them to stick.

Hello it sounds like you have a leaking water hose which you need to find. maybe check first where it connects into the back of the unit.. Otherwise the fridge has a blocked drain in the freezer. cheers
