You're right on target. Fix the drain, then do the paper test on the
gaskets around the door.

Is it possible that there's not a drain in the freezer? This model has
the coils under the freezer floor, and then (apparently) circulates
freezer air to the refrigerator section with a fan.

I don't see anything in the freezer that looks like a drain line. Nor
any sign of water accumulation.

George:

The drain usually won't be visible to you. It will most likely hidden
behind the plastic liner of the freezer. The most likely place for the
frost to form is on the freezer's cold coil. A fan will normally blow
the freezer air past this coil for circulation about the freezer. You
need to remove the plastic cowling covering the fan and coil. To make it
a "frost free", somehow or someway the frost on the coils is warmed up,
melted, and drained down onto a shallow pan under the refrigerator (where
the water is evaporated into the kitchen air.) This melting occurs now
and then but not every day.

A small tube for the water from above will drain down onto the shallow
pan. This is the tube that gets plugged up.
