APPLIANCE 911
Leaking Refrigerators
Testimonial: "This was not my model and I have no evidence of ice anywhere but a thin layer on the bottom. My assembly is mounted on the back inside the freezer. I will take it apart and see what I find."
SOURCE: Ice forming on bottom of freezer section. Water leaking in from back
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: Ice on bottom of the freezer
Your drain is blocked causing the ice in the bottom of the freezer.
The drain is located about 7 inches up from the bottom rear of the freezer.
Just below the back freezer panel.
Turn the fridge OFF.
Remove the bottom bins.
Take a hair dryer and thaw the ice in the drain.
Pour 1/4 cup of bleach in the drain line.
Problem solved.
SOURCE: maytag side by side refrigerator ice forms at the bottom of freez
DEFROST THE FRIDGE BY SWITCHING IT OFF FOR 2 DAYS
SOURCE: My Maytag side by side (no icemaker) keeps leaking
OK, You need to unplug for a hour or so. Remove the rear panel in back of freezer to expose the evaporator coils. At the bottom of the evaporator there is a tray that catches the defrost water to take it through the back and down to the condensate tray located near compressor and condenser fan. Most likely you have ice or something trapped in that drain beginning in the freezer. I have heard some people turn the freezer temperatures so cold ice will form before the water can drain. If you still have problem contact me. If this helped vote or rate me. Thanks Sea Breeze
SOURCE: freezer malfunction
Drain hole is clogged behind the panel that covers the coils. I found a peice of solder blocking mine. Water was freezing on the bottom of the freezer and leaking out to the floor.

Once in there please insure that the drain is clear of debris and on the back where the pipe drains insure the duckbill is clear and open
