Sounds like the drain tube for the defrost water is plugged.

Here are your parts
Replacement parts for MAYTAG MTB1954ARA | AppliancePartsPros.com

Here is a service manual

Remove the front kick plate and check the drain tube at the tray to ensure it is not plugged at the end by dust etc.

Looks like it drains into the top of the fresh food section and then down the tube to the drip tray. You will have to get to the tube and blow it clear. A compressor set a a lower pressure, a turkey baster with some water or even a straw may help you do this.

Once clear it is a good idea to flush it with a 10% bleach solution to kill the crud that likes to grow in it. A turkey baster does this nicely.
