Hi,
The Fridge is 6 years old ,the drainage in the frozen section gets clogged with water and then freezes as an solid ice.

Once the water is formed during the defrost cycles ,it starts collecting below the lower trays and then freezes once the drainage is blocked with the ice.After each defrost cycle the water starts collecting over the ice and makes it impossible to use the lower trays

Every 30 days we have to defrost the system manually and clean up the drain , remove complete ice from the trays and the drainage.

Can any body suggest a solution,twice I have changed the electromagnetic valves which controls the water flow in and out to the ice maker and the drinking water outlet.

Regards
Rajan

Mine was doing the same thing. The drain line was plugged. Turned off the fridge, thawed the outlet hole from the freezer shelf, blew it out with air. Been good for over a year.

I have cleaned up the clogged drain pipe outlet from the freezer as well as from outside each time when we defrost.

when you clean it and defrost the area, test it to see if it is draining.
