Ice Buildup on Freezer Floor
I've been browsing the postings for answers to my problem, but can't
find an exact match. So, hopefully, someone can provide some insight for me. I have a Whirlpool fridge with a top freezer. The unit is just over one year old. Recently, we have experienced ice buildup on the floor of the freezer. We use a wooden spatula to break it up, but within a day or two, it is back. Freezer and refrigerator temps seem to be normal (0 deg and 37 deg, respectively). Any input from you experts would be appreciated. Thanks. Smooth |

Ice Buildup on Freezer Floor
Leaking door gaskets / clogged defrost drain line.
You may need to toss your frozen goods in a cooler and do a real good defrost and blow or vacuum the drain line. wrote: I've been browsing the postings for answers to my problem, but can't find an exact match.

Ice Buildup on Freezer Floor
I defrosted the fridge, then checked the drain tube. Sure enough, there
was an ice clog in it. I poured some hot water down it and it flowed free. It appears to be working fine now. Thanks for all of the tips from everyone.
