I'm hoping this is a relatively simple issue someone can guide me with before I begin removing things that perhaps don't need to be removed. :)

I noticed a small amount of water (literally a couple of teaspoons) collecting in a drawer we use for silverware. Directly above this drawer is our freezer, which I leave running 24x7. Since there is no fresh water plumbing around this area, I have to believe that I'm getting some drainage from the freezer, possibly when it goes through its defrost cycle. Is it possible the drain line is either frozen or has been clogged by some "gunk"? Is the drain line usually at the rear of the freezer in Hunter installations?

Appreciate your sage counsel in advance! Meanwhile, I'll prepare the jackhammer. :D

I just spent a little time this morning onboard taking a look at things. I removed the drawer underneath the freezer, and nothing seemed to be harmed by the water I was seeing. I then removed the freezer, and noticed that Hunter had not properly installed the drain line such that it emptied to the bilge. Instead, it was emptying underneath the freezer itself, where it then ran down the outside of the cabinetry and into the drawer underneath. I did clean underneath the freezer with some bleach-based cleaner just to ensure that any mold spores were addressed.
