Troubleshooting:

- Contact a Factory Certified Parts Distributor to order parts if needed.
- Open the refrigerator door and inspect the back wall of refrigerator.
- If there is condensation, frost, or ice built-up on the back wall, refer to Ice Forming on Back Wall of Refrigerator.
- Remove the crisper drawer and crisper shelf assembly; if equipped, remove all lower storage drawers as well.
- If there is no condensation, water, or ice found near, behind, or underneath the drawer(s), then the drain area is not impacted.
- Ice might appear due to food debris, standing water, or ice buildup clogging the drain trough or drain tube, which is found along the back wall.
- The drain trough and drain tube will only be visible on a 200, 300, 500, or 600 Series, refer to 200/300-500-600 Series Refrigerator Drain Tube Cleaning.
