You guys were so quick to diagnose my dryer I thought I'd ask about my freezer and I have a couple of issues.
First, It is slowly leaking water from the bottom and I found that there is an inch of ice in the bottom. My best guess is that the condensation drain could be clogged. I plan on defrosting and running hot water through the drain tomorrow. What do you think? Second, the light on the ice/water dispenser now stays on dimly all of the time. If I press the light switch on the dispenser control panel it does not go off. It does get brighter when water or ice is being dispensed but never goes off. Is this an easy fix? Third, lately I've been hearing a noise from the back of the refrigerator that sounds like a weak fan motor. Could it be the compressor fan? If so can I get a link to a replacement part? Thank you. |

OK, You're on the right track with the leaking. The defrost drain is plugged and every time it goes into defrost the water has no place to go but on the floor of the freezer where it freezes. After awhile it runs out the freezer door. The hot water should do it.
The problem with the light is most likely the control board. Part # 61005274. The last one is going to be a little harder. Normally you can't really hear the condenser fan motor. I'm not sure I know what a weak motor sounds like. Is it making a noise like slowing down and speeding up or making a vibrating noise? The best thing to do would be to get behind it and remove the cover. See if you can pin point the noise.

I'll get the board ordered. It is hard to describe the noise I'm hearing coming from the rear of the unit. It sounds sort of like "woow woow" if you can even imagine that in your head. I did have an attic exhaust fan once that began to turn very slowly and had a slight whining noise as the motor was dying. That is basically what it sounds like even though that description probably did not help at all.

You might just be hearing normal compressor noise.
