I was able to remove the back bottom panel to see the drain hose and tray. The tray was dry, the hose itself was not blocked, but connected to a drain about where the bottom of the fridge interior is. I removed the hose from this fitting, and was able to easily slide a piece of tubing well up that section of the drain until it hit something up about where the bottom of the freezer is, and whatever it hit was able to jiggle a little and sounded like plastic. So I've ruled out a lot of the possibilities, now I just need to figure out how to get to the area where my probing stopped. The back of the unit is well sealed, not sure how (or even if can) open it. Hoping someone can tell me if I can get at the area through th inside of the fridge (maybe by taking out the pices that covers the controls/light etc), or how to go about removing the back cover of this particular unit.

Check the end of the hose, sometimes the blockage is at that end of the hose, you may be able to insert something into the end. If that doesn't work you'll have to turn off your refrigerator and probably remove the cover that's over the coil. Once you can see the drain you can try running something down the line and then flush it out with some water or a light mix of bleach and water. Sometimes I've to use a small air compressor to open up the drain.
