355-Si 355-Si Post Master Sr Registered: 08/19/01 Posts: 4352 Loc: Toronto, Ontario	I have a bottom loading freezer in my fridge. Every month or so, the floor of the freezer has a 1cm slab of ice covering the entire area of the floor. I pop it out and throw it outside but if I don't do this routinely, water starts to drip out on to the floor. Any thoughts one what this could be? There is no ice/water dispenser in the door. _________________________

But in all fairness, this only happened with mine after a 3 or 4 day power out. I was told that when the power went out, the plug filled with water but didn't drain. Once the power came back on, the water there froze. It's a quick fix though, pull everything out, pour some hot water in and done. That was with the fridge in the condo we were renting. Now that we're in a new place, we've gone with another bottom freezer fridge. IMO, it's easier to get things in/out with this setup.
