SOURCE: freezer "leaking" cold water on floor
sounds like a drain clog in the freezer compartment above. remove the freezer rear panel and totally defrost the evaporator area, directly under the evap you see( under all taht ice) a small drain hole that has become frozen over, try defrosting with either a hair dryer( not a heat gun too much heat youl melt everything) or by pouring hot water donw the drain until you get a free flow of water down the tube. after its clear reassemble and you should be fine
SOURCE: I have 16.7 upright Frigidaire Ultrafreeze
Your evaporator coils frost up in normal use
and every eight hours or so the entire unit shuts down and the defrost heater
comes on to melt the frost. This cycle last about 20 minutes. The melted frost
drips into a drain pan and through a drain tube to the drain tray under the
freezer/refrigerator where it's evaporated by the condenser fan.
Your drain tube may be stopped up with ice at the upper end
because it drains too slow because it's stopped up at the lower end in the
evaporator pan under the unit at the floor. It can get dust and mold in it.
Once you get the ice out at the top a little pressure with a turkey baster will usually clear it out. Flushing
it out with hot water and clorox may help.
Make sure it drains quick enough to prevent
refreezing. . The drain should be located below the evaporator coils on the
lower back of the freezer.

Thermostat is what I would suspect first.
The defrost timer is the next suspect : http://www.searspartsdirect.com/partsdirect/part-number/Frigidaire-Parts/Freezer-Parts/297216600/0046/253/Model-LFFH2067DW7/1428/0142000?keySuffixId=NA&productTypeId=0142000&searchModelNumber=LFFH2067DW7&subCompDesc=System&brandDesc=FRIGIDAIRE&modelDesc=FREEZER&blt=11
I think the defrost heater is probably okay and it is just getting the wrong signals from the above components. But it is item 14 on this diagram: http://www.searspartsdirect.com/partsdirect/part-model/Frigidaire-Parts/Freezer-Parts/Model-LFFH2067DW7/1428/0142000/R0805140/00003
