The bottom of my freezer keeps filling up with ice. I think I need to check to see if the drain is clogged but cannot find any diagrams of how to find drain.
Please help.

To access the drain, remove the panel (#7 in the diagram). The drain is located directly below the evaporator, rithe in the center. It's a hole, about the diameter of a pencil.

Wyatt,

You will need to remove, the lower metal portion of the freezer compartment back wall,

Behind the wall you will find the evaporator coil, and below that will be the defrost drain pan and funnel.

You will find using hot water, and a few towels, a pretty efficient way to de-ice the pan, and tube.

You may also need to use a coat hanger to clear the drain and tube, all the way to the drip pan on the bottom, be careful if you do, you don't want to puncture the tube.

Good Luck,
:) :) :)
