I have read the solutions for ice pooling in the bottom, starting from the glacier in the back bottom of the freezer. The drain pan is completely dry, leading me to believe that the drain is indeed clogged. But I do not know how to clean the drain, or get to it. Please help. Thanks.
The best thing for you to do is unplug the machine and let the ice completely thaw. After that you gain access to the top of the drain you'll have to remove the back wall and the drain hole is under the evaperator. From behind the machine you should be able to see the bottom half of the drain. it sometimes has a rubber piece on it that resembles a duck bill. It that is indeed there remove it because that would be the source of the problem.

The subject is a Eureka Model 350 hand held steamer that can be found at Lowes and other places for around $49.95.
With this steamer you can thaw out an evaporator as quick as if you were using a heat gun or hair dryer but without the slightest concern about melting plastic or wiring. By using steam instead of pouring water (yes many still do) there is little to clean up. With the many attachments it comes with there are other uses (i.e. cleaning, thawing drains, thawing IDI fill tubes, etc.). The steam also makes the replacement IDI fill tube (rubber end) more pliable and easier to complete the installation when used at the end.
This unit has a trigger and can be used to blow out a stopped up drain on a refrigerator by letting the pressure build up a little then blow through the drain with one of the attachments. As for thawing out evaporators it had a fine jet tip for actually CUTTING through solid ice.
Another great use for this tool is refrigerator door gaskets. The hot steam works faster than a heat gun with out the worry.
Note: Do not aim steam directly onto the plastic freezer liner. The rapid temperature change could damage the liner.

Either your defrost timer, defrost heater or defrost thermostat has failed. All parts are located behind the lower back panel inside the freezer. Most likely are the defrost heater and defrost thermostat.

check out the drainage hole if it is properly closed.

Hi,
Here is a tip that will tell you where the water is coming from and how to fix it. The drain hole has froze shut and the water from the defrost will not drain out.
