The "slot" where the water is supposed to drain out the back is filling with ice and the evaporator fan is hitting the ice. Would anyone know if this is a drain clog problem or a evap heater problem?

I used a hair dryer and got the bulk of the ice melted and out but where it goes into the back of the unit there was still ice. I probably need to leave this unit off for awhile but I do not have a place to store the food.

I do not see where the water should be draining out to. I would like to stick a pipe cleaner or something down it (if I can get rid of all of the ice.)

I guess I could check the evap heater with an ohm meter. Anyone know which is likely or other possibility? Thanks.

I use a turkey baster and hot water to clear the drain. Do not think there is a drain heater available for your model , But will check.

I will try that - thanks.

I do not believe there is a drain heater just the defrost heater. I think that works since the ice is all near the drain and no ice on the evap coils.
