Jeff, Thanks for the question!!! I think you find the issue is with your defrost drain. You will need to remove the evaporator cover inside the back of the freezer and locate the drain hole at the bottom below the evaporator. The drain will probably be frozen over. You will need to remove all ice build and then flush the drain line until you are sure it is clean and clear.
