Remove the food from the lower portion of the freezer and remove the 2 screws which hold the rear freezer panel on . Remove the panel and use a hair dryer to defrost the ice built up over the drain . Once you see the black drain hole , concentrate on defrosting the hole . Once defrosted , the ice water will drain into the hole . I would use a small hose inserted into the drain and blow thru , to remove any debris built up inside the drain . Reinstall the panel and food .
You defrost drain is blocked by ice or sludge. Most refrigerators defrost every eight hours and over a period of time the drain line that comes down from freezer into a cup like object top middle and back of the fresh food section. If blocked by gunk or ice you will see trails of liquid leaking down the rear wall of fresh food compartment until it reaches the crisper drawers.This is not always the same with every model as you may see frozen ice flowing down ther rear wall of freezers on side by sides.

Refrigerator ice makers can fail for several reasons, some simple and some tricky. First, look for kinks in the water supply line tubing. Carefully roll your fridge away from the wall to inspect the line and connections located behind it. Straighten any kinks. Note: Use caution when attempting to straighten the 1/4-inch soft copper tubing. It can easily break!If your system includes a water filter, the filter may be clogged or installed incorrectly. Check your manual and replace as needed, or have a qualified professional do it for you.Check the ejector arm (inside and under the bin) and the delivery chute (on the door, below the bin outlet) for blockage. Use a plastic utensil to clear them as needed.For additional troubleshooting steps and solutions, see Ice maker not working. I hope this helps!
to reset the change filter light: Press hold the LIGHT and LOCK pads until the CHANGE FILTER light blinks (approx. 3 sec.) Dispenser lock: to interrupt power to the water and ice dispenser so it cannot be used , press the lock pad 3 times within 10 seconds.
