Have a Maytag refrigerator Model RTD21A AH71C purchased 1991. Looking in the compartment below the freezer a drain for the evaporator is leaking water into the compartment. I blew out the drain line from the pan with compressed air, and from the top best I could. The drain pan is receiving water so the line is not plugged.
I would like to remove the panel below the freezer compartment and need instructions. Thanks

This is a very involved process to do. You will need to take off both the doors, take off the middle hinge & metal frame, then that bottom plastic panel will slide out, then your will see the Styrofoam piece on the evaporator, that pulls off, then you will see the complete evaporator, now you can twist the holding brackets on each side of the evaporator #25 here on the top left side image:

Then carefully left the evaporator up, then you will just see the metal drain trough with the hole in the middle. You can also left that metal drain trough pan out completely and get all the ice melted and clear that hole.

If your glass heater that mounts in the middle of your evaporator #27, is broken, you will need to replace it, you can order all the parts I have linked to here in this post.

Now, I used to repair alot of these, and I would see that Styrofoam that the metal drain trough sits on #1 here:

can be completely water logged and soft to the touch, if thats the case, you would need to replace that main Styrofoam block assembly.
