I have a leak from the bottom of my freezer.

SOURCE: same as 6-9-08 freezer ices up, frig won't cool

Not sure if this will help but I have/had a similar problem with my admiral side by side (approx 12 yrs old not sure of the model #)and I think I fixed it this morning..
At the back of the fridge compartment I removed the cover (covers the light and controls) the Freezer setting just seems to adjust a flap that sends cold air into the fridge.. around the flap was a mass of ice.. what seemed to be happening was as this 'vent' was blocked with ice no cold air entered the fridge and the temp stayed high and hence the stat did not cut out .. compressor running flat out 24/7..... I removed the ice and it now seems to be working better (2-3 hrs will see what its like when I get home from work..!)

SOURCE: Hi I have a Maytag fridge freezer GC2227CDFB

Your problems are exactally the same as mine. I have taken the freezer back panels off and fornd the elements blocked with ice, the upper and lower channels to the fridge are blocked with ice and obviously therefore no0 cold air is going the fridge, I have de-frosted the freezer and put back together and everything works great for 2 weeks when the same thing accurs. My settings for both fridge and freezer are on the lowest possible, but the wife does fill the freezer with too much food! I guess I need an expert in!!

SOURCE: The fridge was leaking water under the freezer

Hi Garth, did you clean out the drain hole where it goes into the catch pan? It will drain when the freezer goes into its defrost mode, this is where the water will come from. Try and use compressed air if available, or run hot water down the hole to clear out the line. This freezer may be stuck in defrost. Do this and see what happens. I will check back tomorrow.
