I have an Amana Refrigerator model #TX20QBW that is dripping water from the top freezer into the Refrigerator. I solved this problem on our basement fridge by defrosting the freezer. On that fridge there is a bottom panel in the freezer that was easily removed so I could access the ice and water build-up. I can not figure out how to do this on the TX20QBW model. Any suggestions for opening it up? Thanks!

Try taking a small piece of solid copper wire strand, loop over defrost heater and extend into drain hole, this is a trick we use to help with this issue by bringing a little heat around the hole. The freezer may be manufactured by Woods Inc, a canadian appliance builder. These did have lots of problems with the water building up between the inner and outer liners, Not much you can do with these either to totally resolve this issue. Make sure the water is going into the drain pan when you pour the hot water.

make sure that the fridge temp control is not set too hi also check that the drain away at the back of the fridge is clear.

Thanks J

you have a cloged evap. drain. the rf is defrosting properly but with the drain be clogged the water has to go somewhere which is generally in the crisper draws on top and bottom models. two way to clear up this issue. turn rf OFF for at least 48 to 72 hrs. to allow the drain to de-ice or take matters into your own hands and take the back panel off of the freezer and using boiling hot water pour it down the evap. drain tube until it flows like you just flushed a tiolet

You have a defrost problem. It means you have 3 parts that can be involve ( timer, defrost thermostat, element) most of the time it's the timer. Hope it was helpful. :)

SOURCE: I'm getting ice build up at the top of my Amana upright freeze.

This means the seal at the top is not tight and air is leaking in.

There are 3 possible fixes:
1. Loosen and Rehang the door so that a piece of cash-register receipt paper cannot easily be pulled thru the seal when the door is closed (all the way around) get someone to help. Dont take the door hinge screws out, just loosen them, push the door in to compress seal and tighten them again

2. Replace the seal ($12-30.00) - Take make, model and serial number of the appliance with you to eliminate a return trip.

3/ Treat with Armor All to make gasket seal soft again (2-3x) and give it a wipe all the way around with Vaseline.
