Our fridge(see above info) has been leaking out bottom, then noticed freezer compartment was also full of frozen water on food, bottom of liner. Thawed out and restarted, worked fine for awhile, then the same issues. Shut off water to unit. So it’s working, but would like to repair if possible. Other than above we’ve done nothing but buy a small chest freezer. Anyone?? TIA, Les G.

Hi @lesat61 ,
There is a drain tube leading from under the evaporator unit in the freezer compartment down to the evaporator pan under the compartments near the compressor. (evap unit is located behind a panel at the back inside the freezer compartment - access from inside the compartment)
This allows the meltwater from when the evaporator is being defrosted during the auto defrost cycle to drain away and evaporate.
If the drain tube is blocked then the water cannot drain away and overflows into the compartment.
Remove the panel and check that the drain is not blocked by pouring a measured amount of water (cupful?) down the drain and check that it all gets to the evap. pan.
If there is accumulated ice build up on the evap. unit then there is a defrost problem (intermittent?) as it should be defrosted approx. every 10 hours and it shouldn’t be that much.
This could be caused by a faulty defrost heater, faulty defrost thermostat, a blocked drain or a faulty control board.
Here are all the parts for the refrigerator. It is only shown to give an idea of where they’re located. If you find a faulty part there are other suppliers that may suit you better. Just search for RS25H5000WW/AA parts to get results.

Thank you jayeff for the fast reply! Will check out and get back to you as soon as I have answer or further questions!
Just had my fridge repaired for ice build up in freezer. I think I piled too much against the fan. Unplug for 24 hrs. Remove all the pieces of plastic in the freezer and blow dry. This melts the ice quickly. My water catching pan is at the back bottom. Keep emptying water. If everything else is working this will fix the problem.
