chest freezer leaking water. how do i fix it.?

Question

I've had the freezer since 2005. moved it three times and just started to leak from the very bottom. never have had a problem with it. any ideas on why or how to fix it?!?

Answer 1

This usually means the automatic defrosting drain hole is plugged. Turn it off completely and let it set overnight so it can defrost completely on it own. Obviously put the food elsewhere. When it defrosts, the plugged hole will open up and you can start it again and it should fix the problem. I did that to mine and it worked perfect.
