Don't see a drain pan on this sucker, but it's drained water on the floor the past few nights. Took it out, vacuumed under it (popped the front bottom part out to vacuum), took the back section off by the compressor and vacuumed all the dust out back there, etc.

Looked high and low for something to remove, and don't see it on the diagram. So, where it is draining to? Also, what's the best way to unclog the drain line? (I'm guessing this is causing the issue).

Thanks :)

Drain Pan is near the Compressor.
Drain Tube may be frozen / clogged with corn or a pea ...
under Evaporator Coils inside the Freezer
maybe pour some hot water down the Drain Tube

The drain pan is part of the molded case beneath the compressor.
It is not removeable.
Is the water coming from underneath or near the front of the freezer door?
The defrost drain is inside the freezer section on the lower back wall.
Look under the bottom freezer bucket for ice buildup on the freezer floor.

I'll find the drain hole and put some hot water down it and see what happens.

The water is coming out right in front of the unit, sometimes, it comes out the left side (apparently tracing back to the freezer).

Thanks, all!

Open the freezer and look under the lower bin for a slab of ice.

Got the slab of ice out at the bottom, removed the peas, and verified I could pour hot water down the drain... hopefully it's fixed! Thanks, everyone!
