Maytag French Door Has Ice Collecting At Bottom

Occasionally the drain and drain line can freeze causing water to begin to accumulate in the bottom of the freezer and begin to leak from the freezer onto the kitchen floor.

Maytag french door has ice collecting at bottom.

This last week i have noticed that ice is building in the bottom of the freezer. This mode is used when the refrigerator is on display in a retail store or if you want to turn the cooling off and deactivates all other functions except interior lighting. We had already gotten rid of our other refrigerator so had no fridge. Some refrigerators are equipped with a showroom or demo mode feature.

Is the cooling function turned on. It has the ice and water on the door as well. I am thinking there is a problem with read more. Make sure the door is closing completely and is not blocked by something between the door gasket and cabinet.

Lay a deep pan or similar at the bottom of the refrigerator to catch the water when the ice melts. Leave everything sit until all the ice has melted this is a good time to wipe down the inside of fridge. Check if the water line is kinked locate the water line behind the fridge. The water from the melted ice and frost drains through a short tube and into a pan beneath the refrigerator where it evaporates.

It s as if water is leaking from somewhere and pooling to the bottom of the freezer and freezing. Melting the ice from. I have a french door bottom freezer maytag refrigerator. I noticed it a week ago.

Wedge the door to keep it open for the defrost procedure. Have 2 toddlers at home and after screaming at home depot they agreed to loan us a small fridge for the week and 1 2. Below the bottom freezer compartment there ice build up. Should the drain line become clogged the water has nowhere to go.

The same ice problem you all describe. This allows excess humidity to enter the refrigerator and freezer sections. Frost is likely to build if the door is left open for a long period of time. Turn it back on by turning the dial to ice maker on or moving the lever over the ice bin down.
