Ice was building up in the bottom of the freezer in my Frigidaire Gallery (model FGHG2344F1). Here's how I fixed it.

Hi Dustin,I have the exact same problem with my fridge. As I was watching I thought maybe I could fix it from the back and then you addressed that at the end, so I'll try that tomorrow and let you know.Thanks for doing the trouble shooting for me.

Having the same problem had no idea where all the water was coming from thanks ! Do you need to pull the plug on the fridge to work on this problem?

Nevermind just saw that you unplugged it eventually…

I didn't know thats how it works. Good to know about. Do chest freezers have that to?

If it has an auto defrost functionality, it’ll have a drain. Not sure they make chest freezers with it though.

I have the same fridge, my freezer issue is a little different though. The ice maker builds up ice in the ice maker drawer.

I have brand new Frigidaire Gallery being use it for 6 months and have the same issue. Where is the water suppose to go? This is very flawed design by the Frigidaire. Fridge should should just be plug and use. I'm very disappointed with Frigidaire. The 20+ years Kenmore it replaced is so much better than yhis Frigidaire crap. Haayy

The water is supposed to drain into the pan under the fridge so it can evaporate. If the line gets clogged, the water backs up into the freezer and causes the ice dam

@@DustinRogersinMO any follow up if it stops leaking under your fridge? The amount of build up water is a lot for it to just evaporate. Even with water draining under the pan would eventually lead to eater leaking i think.

@@komodo_04 there should only be a small amount of water each time the auto defrost runs to melt ice off the coil. The auto defrost cycle only runs every 10-12 hours so whatever drains off between cycles should have time to evaporate. The amount of ice that built up was over several weeks, and that was AFTER I noticed the basket catching on the ice that had already built up. The pan under the fridge can probably hold 3-4 cups of water without overflowing. There should never be that much water in the pan.
