I have a GE Profile Fridgee Model #: PDS20MCPAWW. The freezer is the bottom drawer in this unit. About 2x a week, I discover puddles in my kitchen coming from the freezer. I open the drawer and chip away at the ice that has frozen over on the bottom of the drawer. That seems to do the trick until it happens again a few days later.

How can I remedy the problem? The fridge is is only 5 years old.

Thanks!

Behind the rear wall, underneath the evaporator coils (the aluminum coils, will be a hole that is to drain the melted front into a pan which is located next to the compressor so the heat from the compressor will evaporate that water in the pan. The hole or tubing is clogged up. Clean the hole with HOT water and then some burst of air.
Number 93 is the tubing that is located on the ouside of the box and drips the water into that drain pan next to the compressor.
