Ice Maker Leak In Freezer
My ice maker is leaking into the freezer compartment. This is allowing the water to fill up the recessed bottom and freeze into a solid sheet of ice. I clean it out about once every two weeks. It will, I'm sure, eventually prevent the drawer from being opened (or closed). Is there a simple repair? I fear calling a repairman if the "fix" is something I can handle myself.
