Serial No. 11199904YD
I'll try to describe the problem as brief as possible.
I have the Admiral unit with two doors, and the problems are
1) the refrigerator has water leaking under the refrigerator unit on the left door.
2) the ice build a lot from inside bottom cabinet (where kept meat) that cause the left door can't shut properly.
Is this something that I can fix myself...and what are the things you can suggest me to look into and try fix the two problems... the refrigerator is still running great, but the only two problems that make me thing problems that i need to take care... the ice build inside bottom left door...I can't close the door shut at all..and don't know what cause the ice built up...
I need your experts on this matter... I'll wait to hear back from you for suggestions before I go any further and hopefully that I can resolve the two problems...(water leak and ice build inside bottom on left side door).
I appreciated your comments and suggestions!!
-Andy

Your drain tube may be stopped up with ice at the upper end because it drains too slow because it's stopped up at the lower end in the evaporator pan under the unit at the floor. It can get dust and mold in it. Once you get the ice out at the top a little pressure with a turkey baster will usually clear it out. Flushing it out with hot water and clorox may help.
Make sure it drains quick enough to prevent refreezing. . The drain should be located below the evaporator coils on the lower back of the freezer.

I saw the drain tube behind the refrigerator... Should I use turkey blaster on the back put hot water in the drain tube behind the refrigerator to allow hot water go back the tube up to ice maker. the tube is stuck at the upper ice maker?
May you suggest where I need to disconnect the drain tube to pull hot water in the tube? Where is exactly the drain tube sit under the defroster ice maker or where? can you tell me where to look the tube, so I can pull hot water to see if water go down drain pain (under refregrator).. where should I start pull hot water in?
Is this mean I need to have all power off while doing this?
I appreciated all comments and suggestions!!!
