First was a lil drop and small amt of ice on shelves in refrig (drip from freezer). remedy: cleaned out freezer, removed part 603 as pictured here

Unit parts replacement parts for General Electric CTX18HABHRWW Refrigerator | AppliancePartsPros.com

cleaned out lots of ice underneath 603

adjusted door as it seemed that the seal was not tight

now more ice than ever before.

I dont see a drain in the freezer or refrig that could be clogged. The back is sealed and does not look accessible. I dont see a drip pan underneath the entire unit.

HELP!

I do not know if the drain is directly connected to the drain trough or it drains into the back of the fresh food section and then out. Odds are it is the latter.

Following are some of the parts which may help you get to the drain system and check/clean it.

Trough drain Item 633 in Section 3. You can see the hole for the drain.
Drain pan Item 751 in Section 3.
Drain tube Item 313 in Section 3

Sorry, I messed up it should be 622.

It does not look like this unit has a front kick plate which is normally how you access the drain pan so you will have to try removing the rear cover (Item 267 in Section 2).
