To do this remove the evaporator cover under the cover you should see a hole covered with ice. Remove the ice (careful not to punch a hole in the drain pan if using an ice pick) then clear the drain. To do this I force hot water down the drain with a turkey baser but you can use any squirt bottle I have even used a garden hose. Once the drain is clear mix baking soda with water and pour it down the drain to prevent this from happening any time soon. Refrigerator Leaking Repair Guide[/FONT]

Will i need to remove the ice maker to gain access? Is removal of the ice maker a big deal?
