I am in N Illinois. We have a refrigerator in our garage. It is making

freezer.

How would one approach finding out what is wrong? Any good starting
tips?

Given that its marking its territory, its probably an automatic defrost
model. The defrost cycle melts the ice that forms in the freezer
section, and the melted water is directed out a drain tube underneath
the unit. Normally, there's a catch pan that contains the water and the
hot air from the fan blowing over the coils evaporates the water.

Either you are missing the catch pan, or its mis-aligned and the water
is running on the floor.


Got it. Thank you. Will check it and post some updates.
