John,
The drip tube is usually hidden below the coils inside the freezer. It
ends up in a pan under and outside the unit, so take the kick off and
see if you can find the other end of the hose. Run a wire up through it
and see if there are any blocks.
Another thing that may be causing the ice in the freezer, is a leaky
seal on the freezer door. If the door got warped during the move, it may
not be sealing all the way around. Try putting a dollar bill between the
door and the freezer body and see how hard it is to pull it out all the
way around the door. You may find an area where it pulls out much easier
than others.
Good luck
Peace,
Pat
