No frost or ice buildup. Tubes appear to be aligned properly or my test of running water through the system would have failed. The water test worked fine as the water ended up at the evaporator basin and not below the crispers. I am perplexed. I can not imagine the defrost heater or mullion heater is failing or there would be ice or frost buildup. This model has no ice maker.

Thanks-A repairman stated that I will not be able to replace the drain assembly as GE no longer manufactures it. But I go on the GE website and see that a "drain trough" appears availalbe. When I stated this to the repairman he states that that is not the part but I need a large galvanzied piece that runs vertically down the back of the unit? The parts diagram shows a drian trough connectcing to the drain tube running down the back of the unit. What am I missing in this scenario?

You should try blocking the drain trough & carefully pour water in the trough then u should see where the water is leaking from:cool:
