Somebody please help..... My Maytag fridge/freezer has developed a leak. It comes from a black pipe that can be seen through a grill at the bottom of the freezer side (inside the freezer). I believe the leek has something to do with the black pipe as the water slowly drips down and off from it. There is always a frozen puddle at the bottom and I have a small puddle on the outside of the door most days. The freezer and fridge both seem to be working OK, as do the ice maker and water despenser.

The drain is stopped up (the black pipe). In the freezer look at the back bottom under the evaporator coils you will have to remove the cover off the back of the freezer (the gill you are viewing the pipe through). If there is any ice over that pipe remove the ice and using a turkey baser or any squirt bottle force hot water down the hole to clear the drain. Once done mix water with baking soda and pure it down the drain to prevent this from happing again anytime soon. Refrigerator Leaking Repair Guide
