Hello
You have a few different possibilities that will cause the drian to plug up.
1) Make sure the fridge is level, it needs to be level back to front and side to side.
2) Check the back of the compartment for plastic bags or similar objects that might be blocking the drain.
3) Refrigerator sensor if weak can cause this issue Parts #: DA61-03683A. See video link below.
4) The refrigerator defrost bi-metal thermostat Part #: DA47-00243C could be opening to soon and shutting off the defrot heater to soon. Then the drian will ice over causing your issue.
5) If you have a weak spot in the refrigerator defrost heater Part #: DA47-00424B it can cause the drian to ice over. So you need force the heater into defrost and make sure it is heating on 100% of the element. The heaters can still have amprege and only heat on 30-40-50 % of the coil causing this issuse. You can visually inspect the heater to see a strong red glow all the way accross the heater. See complete diagnostic manuals below. Matt Ace technician
