Maytag refrigerator french door freezer ice around the fan.

This last week i have noticed that ice is building in the bottom of the freezer it s as if water is leaking from somewhere and pooling to the bottom of the freezer and freezing. I have a french door bottom freezer maytag refrigerator. Unplug the refrigerator from power and remove any drawers or shelves. An improper seal of the gaskets on the refrigerator or freezer doors could also cause humidity to form.

Wedge the door to keep it open for the defrost procedure. I read some of the other posts and got all the water and ice out of the freezer bottom and about 7 8 hours later saw water puddling on the floor and in the freezer. Are the air vents blocked. Check the seal around the outside doors and the freezer door to make sure nothing is obstructing the gasket seal.

Leave everything sit until all the ice has melted this is a good time to wipe down the inside of fridge. It has the ice and water on the door as well. Lay a deep pan or similar at the bottom of the refrigerator to catch the water when the ice melts.
