Freezer drain pipe clogging again

[Windinherhair]

The floor of the freezer in my 8 year old Hoover fridge freezer gets a build-up of ice, which causes the bottom drawer to stick (now broken).
I defrosted it and unblocked the frozen drain pipe. Right away, the appliance sounded healthier, like it wasn't having to work extra hard.
This was only a week ago and, already, ice is starting to drip down and form on the floor under the bottom drawer. Again, I found that the drain pipe was starting to freeze.
Any suggestions re what I might try to prevent this from happening?
Thanks

Have you tried defrosting it You could always do a search to see if your model has a defrost element that may have failed

In a Hoover FF you can easily take the panel off the back of the freezer compartment to inspect, this void often get's frozen solid, only a thorough defrost or going at it with a hammer will get rid of the ice build up.

Is it a (nominally) frost-free freezer?

How long was it turned off when you defrosted it?

If the freezing coil is blocked it can keep freezing in the same spot as the blockage , not usually a viable repair ,

Is it a 'frost-free' type? If so, I can tell you exactly what it is. It's too much stuff in the top part, where the fan is, stopping the circulation of the air. I've experienced the same issue.

That might be what you had, but it is not the usual cause.
