Hello maryanndiadamo - Your unit will typically go into self-defrost (3-4 times daily). If the drain is clogged, the water has nowhere to go, so it may drip or stream down the back wall of the unit and pool underneath the bottom crisper. Doing this 3-4 times a day, the water will eventually overflow streaming out the front of the unit onto the floor.
The drain is located either on the floor of the freezer, beneath the vegetable crisper, or in the wall behind a drain funnel.
Clear the drain by forcing a solution of water and bleach or water and baking soda into it with a basting syringe. If the solution will not flow through, slide a length of ¼ inch flexible tubing into the drain tube to push the clog through to the drain pan. Remove the tubing after clearing the clog.
I hope this troubleshooting tip helps resolve this issue. If you have additional questions, please feel free to respond.
