The drain tube may not be blocked by ice but by something else at the other end of the drain tube
You need to check if the drain tube is draining freely by pouring a measured cup of water into the drain tube hole which is below the evaporator unit in the freezer compartment and then check that all of it reaches the evaporator pan under the compartment near the compressor motor.

Get into the ''Service test mode'' and perform ''Service Test – 101 Defrost Heater & Defrost Circuit'' to check if the defrost thermostat is OK and also if the defrost heater is OK.
There's got to be a reason for the ice to build up as the auto defrost should keep any ice build up to a minimum
