Anyone have issues with water frozen in the bottom of a freezer?
My first thought was a ruptured water line from freezing since my ice maker gave out a few weeks ago, but shutting off the water to the freezer did not stop it. So, it makes sense that the defrost drain hole to the drain pan underneath must be plugged up?
In this case I'll need a shop vacuum and some very hot water. And a better back than the one I currently own.
It looks like I'd need to remove all the shelving and remove the inside back cover to get at the coil assembly. (The drain will likely be beneath it.)
I'm wondering if it would be easier to clear the drain from the rear of the unit?

Good morning.
Kelly leaves to go to Connecticut tomorrow. She'll be gone for five days.
I'm trying to figure out what I can do to amuse myself.
It's a little cooler this morning and it's not supposed to rain.
Good morning, Ed.
Happy Christmas Egg.:)
Do a spot of cheese collecting, perhaps ?

I'm just back from the dentist. I passed my checkup with flying colours * polishes halo * :)

Even the dentist asks about your smoking and drinking habits now! I don't smoke... and he allowed for Christmas with the booze :)
Here's another halo for you.
Showing nice teeth, also
