Now water is dripping from the air tower into the back of the refrigertor. I thought the tubing to the drip pan was clogged because the pan itself was very dry looking. I ran a wire up the tubing but couldn't feel any blockage. I want to take the back off the refrigerator to see if the tubing is properly connected, but I don't how or do I want to damage the refrigerator. Is there another way I can check if it is the tubing or another problem that I'm not aware of? Thanks

If your refrigerator has a trap on the back of the refrigerator that the drain hose hooks to remove it and check for blockages. But your refrigerator probably won’t so you will have to go in from the freezer. Take the cover off the back of the freezer (you may have to remove a cover of the bottom) under the coils you should see a hole this is the drain. If the hole is covered with ice the drain is clogged. Remove all the ice from on top of the hole and any other ice you see that formed as a result of the clogged drain. Then use a turkey baser to force hot water down the drain unit it flows freely down the drain. Then mix baking soda with water and pour it down the drain to prevent this from happing anytime soon.
