Here are your parts
Parts for MQF1656TEW - AppliancePartsPros.com

Sounds like drain tube is plugged so that the water from the defrost cycle cannot drain into the drain pan.

I would check that it is clear.
It will be behind the evaporator cover in the freezer, below the evaporator coils.
If plugged a turkey baster with warm water, an air compressor with low pressure or a wire can often be used to clear it.

Also check that it is not plugged with dust etc. at the drain pan end.
You might as well clean the condenser/compressor fan and the condenser coils while you are down there.

If it looks like stuff is growing in the tube I would flush it with a 10% bleach solution. This should kill the stuff and let you flush it out. You may have to do this several times, let it sit for 15 minutes or so between flushes.

Be careful that the drip tray does not overflow and empty the drip tray after you are done.

Be sure to unplug the unit while doing this.

I am new here. This is my first post. I sure hope someone can help me

For the last 2 1/2 yrs, There has been ice building up in the bottom of the freezer. I assume that there is water leaking somewhere but I can't find it. When I remove the ice it starts coming back in a few days. It looks as though it is flowing from the vents at the bottom compartment. I can't use the bottom because things get stuck in the ice.

I appreciate any help. I am at my wits end with this.
