I have limited vision, please tell me what i should do?

Answer

Nancy, The excess water that you are seeing would be caused by the water dripping off the coils when the unit did go through the defrost cycle. You will want to make sure that you get the wire reconnected in the back. If you leave the wire disconnected then the unit will go back to where it is not defrosting and will cause the unit to warm up.
