Hello All,
I am having same problem with condensate not getting to the pan under the fridge. I have the rear freezer panel off & can see the coils. They did have a little ice on the bottom... I can not find the drain hole under the coils!? How do you get to the holes?
Everything worked fine for a couple years & started messing up past couple weeks..
Thanks for your help!

For an Amana ABB1924WEW1 bottom mount - side out freezer drawer model - do I still have to remove the slide out drawers or can I get to the condensate drain from the back of the fridge once I remove the back panel?

You will need to remove the drawer.

Last night I turned off the water inlet for the ice maker and this morning the bottom of the freezer compartment is dry. That is making me think the issue I have has to do with the ice maker and not the condensate drain. I had noticed a thin layer of ice last night on the top back ledge of the freezer compartment. That ice is still there this morning but given that there is no new ice on the freezer floor - is it worth me waiting a day or so to see if the problem goes away? or does the presence of ice on that ledge indicate the drain is plugged? See photo.

It does look like the drain is clogged. Give it a day or 2 and see if the water comes back. Then you will know for sure that it needs to be cleaned out.

I took another photo and it does look like some of the condenser fins are ice clogged so I think i will open her up anyway.

Oh so you mean to wait and see if the condenser fins and drain opening clear up through future cycles?

It will not clear up on it's own. If the drain is clogged, it will need to be cleaned out. And looking at the photos, it looks like it needs to be cleaned out.

Can you provide a short list of what has to be taken apart? I think it is - first remove the drawer face from the sliding lower basket. I saw a couple of screws at the bottom that I surmise will remove the drawer face.
Then ...yet to be determined how - remove the 2 sliding baskets.
Then remove the drawer tracks
Then the ice maker
and then ...
I will post photos as I go along to make it easier for future visitors.

You will need to remove the drawer, baskets, icemaker, fan cover, thermistor cover in the upper right corner, and then the back wall. Once all is removed, you can access and clean out the drain under the evaporator coils.
