10 Month Old Maytag Mfx2571xem Leaks Water At Bottom Corners.

Our 10 mos old Maytag MFX2571XEM leaks water at the bottom front corners.  Doesn't happen daily.  The water is only at the front corners. The bottom of the freezer inside has ice.  What is happening?

Most likely the cause of the problem is clogged and/or frozen drain in the freezer.

Remove the rear panel inside the freezer and locate the drain hole under the evaporator coil. You can defrost it using a hair dryer. Then take a cup of really hot water and make sure it goes through.
