Any ideas??

It can get dust and mold in it. Once you get the ice out at the top a little air pressure will usually clear it out. Flushing it out with hot water and clorox may help. Make sure it drains quick enough. The drain should be located below the evaporator coils on the lower back of the freezer. Since you had the ice buildup you probably have a defrost problem. It may happen again. The defrost system consist of the, defrost heater, defrost thermostat and If the heater and thermostat are ok it’ll be the control. Part 6 on diagram 9.
