Water or ice buildup on the freezer floor inside the compartment.

Safety: Unplug the freezer before working inside.

Steps:

• Defrost ice: Remove drawers and panels to access the drain area. Use warm water to melt ice around the drain opening. Do not use sharp tools.
• Flush drain: Once open, flush the drain with hot water using a turkey baster or squeeze bottle until water flows freely into the drain pan.
• Check for recurring blockage: If the drain repeatedly freezes, inspect the drain heater (if equipped) or ensure the drain tube is properly insulated and routed.
