That hole is the drain; clean all the ice from around the hole. The best way I have found unclog refrigerator drains is the force hot water down the drain with a turkey baser until water flows freely. Then mix water with baking soda and pour it down the drain to prevent it from clogging again anytime soon. Refrigerator repair guide

It is not a bad idea to pour baking soda water down the drain once a year. Some people say pour bleach down the drain but I been using baking soda for years and it works great and it don’t smell nearly as bad as bleach.
