I do no have the manual and would like to see specs on the freezer. I need to know why it has been running all day. it is not icing over at this point. I don't know where the fan is or the drain if there is one. I suspect there might be some water I need to drain and or evaporator pads that need cleaning? thanks

Check that the compressor is running, usually you can hear it but you should also be able to feel it vibrating. If it is on all the time other than when the unit goes through a defrost cycle and you are not getting any cooling then it is a sealed system problem. This will be an expensive repair as you need a pro often it makes more sense to put the dollars towards a new unit.

I just need to know if I need to take the panel above the drain area off and make sure there is no water in there. I don't have a manual for some reason. it is now quiet some of the time as compared to yesterday. I an hear water dripping at times as well so it is no longer icing up. perhaps I should give it a few days. thanks

I am not sure what panel you are referring to. Also you said "I need to know why it has been running all day." I thought you meant the compressor was always running which points to a problem with the freezer.
