Default Maytag side by side freezer drip

I have a question that is similar to one that has already been asked. I
have a Maytag side by side refrigerator - freezer. The unit is now six
years old. Ice is forming at the bottom of the freezer side and when it
gets thick enough to reach the door gasket it warms and melts causing a
puddle on the floor at the front of the freezer door. I do have an ice
maker and it seems that it's the probable cause. I lifted the ice lever
to stop making cubes but the ice still formed at the bottom of the
freezer. Any tips before I begin to pull it apart?


Hi,

A clogged/restricted defrost drain might be suspect! If the defrost
water cannot go down the drain it will spill out inside the freezer
bottom on a SxS.
