Water Pooling or Freezing in Bottom of Freezer

Water pooling or a sheet of ice forming at the bottom of your freezer almost always means the defrost drain is clogged. During the automatic defrost cycle, ice melts and should flow down a drain into a pan at the bottom of the fridge. When that drain freezes over or gets clogged with food debris, the water has nowhere to go and pools in the freezer floor.
