Found Ice Locking The Vent Down In The Lower Left Fridge Side, Below The Crisper Boxes. Cleaned It Out, Lasted 1-2 Weeks And Refroze. When Turning Freezer Off, I Had Much Water From Thawing. Any Ideas? Thank You, Doug

Your drain tube may be stopped up with ice at the upper end because it drains too slow because it's stopped up at the lower end in the evaporator pan under the unit at the floor. 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

Thanks, Ill check that. So far, it seems that many people have had problems with a defrost controller on this model, but I thought I should ask before buying a 65.00 part.

If you have a defrost problem, there will be ice buildup on the evaporator coils behind the back cover in the freezer. It will build up and block the air flow. When the defrost system works it melts the frost and the water drains down to the drain pan.
