First the freezer section gets cold.After freezer side gets properly cold to its set temperature, then defrost cycle starts.In defrost cycle the ice freezed in the freezer section melts, the fan in the freezer section starts and cool air from freezer section goes to fridge section.The cool air from freezer to fridge passes from a section, its called damper.---------- The ice frozen in the freezer section melts in defrost cycle and ice melting water runs from drain line in the freezer section to condenser section pan.------------ But if the freezer section gets over freezed then the water draining line gets clogged and melting ice water will leak towards bottom instead of going to drain line.---------- Or the other possibility for water puddles and collecting at the bottom is crack in the ice maker water passing line.The water passing tube runs from water valve to ice maker.If this tube i cracked in between then water will leak from this line.--------- So first try turning off the water supply to ice maker and turn ice maker off and see if still the water puddles are getting collected at the bottom.If not, then problem is water leak from ice maker side water running line.--------- But with water to the ice maker off and still the water leaks in the bottom, then its drain getting clogged problem.----------- Try manual defrost, The manual defrost reset procedure is as follows : ---- First unplug the unit from main power outlet. Then empty whole unit completely. Then keep both the doors open. Wait for 24 hours. All the ice collected on the coils and in the freezer section will get melted. Clean the water from the sections. Then Connect the power cord of the unit to main power outlet after 24 hours/.Then set the temperature to normal in both fridge and freezer section. Then check----------------------- This will help.Thanks.Helpmech.
