Why is ice forming at the bottom of my freezer?

We have a 6 year old fridge freezer that my parents gave us when they moved. Samsung - fridge on top, freezer at the bottom. For some strange reason, for the last few months, massive block of ice is forming at the bottom of the freezer. At one point when I can’t push the box in, I break it up and throw it out. Only for the ice to form again in 2-3 weeks time. Where is all this water coming from? The fridge doesn’t have the water cooler thing. So there is no water supply. If I melt the block of ice, it’s atleast 1.5 litres! Where is all the water coming from and why is this happening?
Can anyone help ?

A common one is the drip tray is blocked.

Theres usually a small hole at the bottom which collects water when the freezer defrost.

Usually have to fully de-ice the freezer and remove any ice/blockage from behind the back panel too.
