hi,
i hope someone can help me. i have a whirlpool refrigerator with a bottom freezer that keeps accumulating water, which turns into ice, and i have to break it up and remove. i first thought my ice trays were leaking but that is not the case. any ideas as to where this water is coming from. there is no water hooked up to the frig.

thank you in advance,

Hi,

There is a drain hole under the evaporator coils inside the freezer. This hole is clogged and frozen. Remove the rear panel in the freezer and defrost it using a hair dryer. Run some hot water though the drain using a turkey baster.

The evaporator coils are in the freezer behind the rear panel.

I have an identical problem (ice inside on bottom of freezer) with a Whilpool GB2FHDXWB09 bottom freezer. "I assume one cannot see the drain hole from inside the freezer". I was hoping to not have to pull the frig. out because I only have one arm and its not too strong (old)
Thank You for a Response
