Frost Buildup In The Freezer And Water Under The Deli Drawer

Model GI6SDRXXY05 Whirlpool Gold. I recently replaced the drain kit because of drain was clogged up. That issue is resolved. But now, there is water build up under the deli drawer. I noticed that the water is filled up in the vents under the deli drawer. There is also frost build up in the freezer. Any idea what could be wrong? Also, how do I put refrigerator in a forced defrost cycle?

The air circulated in the refrigerator is due to the evaporator motor fan. If left to operate without a fan to provide a heat load for your compressor, it could cause your compressor to fail. Your problem is most likely the defrost sensor inside the cover of your evaporator. It is probably stuck open and will not send power to your evaporator fan. Take you model number to Searspartsdirect.com and find the defrost sensor for your refrigerator and replace it.
