The leak is most likely coming from the defrost tray below the evaporator coils. A piece of ice or something is preventing the water from draining to the pan below your refrigerator. Unplug and remove the back panel inside the freezer. Any blockage from that tray will cause the water to pool out into the freezer or fresh food section. Thanks, Sea Breeze

sounds like stripped threads. try putting teflon tape on it first. good luck

Condensing line, do you mean evaporator in freezer freezing up ?

HI TRY DEFROSTING ALL FIRST.MIGHT HAVE ICE BUILD UP AT THE BOTTOM.IF IT WORKS GREAT. IF NOT THEN FURTHER INVESTIGATION REQUIRED.SERVICE COND/UNIT.GOOD LUCK ALI

this is generally an indicator that either the door was left open too long, dirty condensor coils and/or you have a issue with the condenser fan mtr not running or blade is jammed. pull the unit out and see if the fan in the back is running if not or if it is running slowly then it needs to be replaced ASAP!!!! This fan is design for two purposes to cool the compressor from over heating and to draft cooler air across the condensor coils and displace heat outside unit If you need further help, reach me via phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/marlon_56d9a24f02585258

the heating elements are busted need to replace.

Your problem sounds like a defrost or control board. The condser fan sould run full speed when running. It will cost about 90-100 dollars. I hope this helps.

This will help.Thanks.Helpmech.

The heat element in the evaporator tray may be out.

All the cold air comes from the freezer side so if the fridge side is not cooling then the baffle door is not opening up or it has accumilated ice in it and frozen up. I would try to unplug it for a hour or so with the doors open and let it thaw and then plug back up and let it run for a couple hours to see if that fixes it. If not then I would suggest having the baffle checked.

good that you cleaned the coils this will help the unit run better but your problem is the defrost cycle has failed . in the back of the freezer is the cold coil and it has frosted over preventing air flow . i would replace the defrost thermo and the ADC aditive defrost control . mm hope this helps feed back please ..
