Model PSS26PSTA SS

I noticed clean water dripping into the express cool drawer the other day. I see that sometimes you need to change out the Evaporator Drip Pan if you are getting rusty colored water - mine is clean water. so I watched the video and went in to remove the plastic covers to inspect the drip tray and noticed ice build up in the refrigerator (see pictures).

I hope the picture will help in identifying the problem. Visual inspection shows the drip pan is rusty, but NOT full of water and the drain is not clogged and free of any debris.

Cooling in the fridge is fine - solid 37 degrees

In the picture below - There is another foam block with a cover that is not in the how to video, so I have no idea what that is, if I need to remove it to remove the plastic cover to access the coils etc.

I am guessing this ice build up at this height might be something else and not the drip pan.

Thanks for your help

Picture of issue below - I chipped the ice away, but the circled area shows where the ice was

I found out this ice in the refrigerator section has a fix from GE

The Ice Ball Kit

Ac De Ice Ball Kit WR49X10180 / AP4315424

https://www.appliancepar...r49x10180-ap4315424.html

The ice ball problem is being caused by very low temperatures in the lower left part of the fresh food compartment. The low temperatures are being driven by two gaps that need to be sealed. One around the beverage center duct and one along the left side curved geometry of the Quick Chill air handler cover.
These two locations need to be sealed with RTV.
