Hello, rg
I
am trying to help you out here. Maybe this will help some? I am know on
Fixya as the cleanup expert pro. Which means I spend my own personal
time to seek out customers that maybe have not had there problem yet
solved. I do this on my own for free. Think of me as a Specialized
Trouble Shooter.
I have found out that it appears that lots of
customers appreciate my efforts and help. So, I thought I would take
some of my own personal time to
see if I can help you. Even though this Informational site may not have
your exact model or brand, But this site will help you a lot. Here is
the site link about everything you want to know about refrigerator and possibly yours, from repair to trouble shooting it.

Please
if this helped you at all, if you can find the time and in your heart
to rate my help and some kind words written would be appreciated for my
free help, I would appreciate it. Like I said I
just try to help, If anything this is good information for future
problems. If you felt that my free help was a waist of time for you, I'm
sorry. I do not get paid to help people on the site, I do it cause I like to help and maybe make a smile on someones face.
Here
is also my direct link to my own pages of other areas of my expertise
for other problems you might have in Automotive, Appliance, and
Electronics. Drop In anytime for my help.

Look for:
(1) Condensate drip pan under the refrigerator (catches & evaporates water from defrost cycles) may be out of place or leaking.
(2) Drip Tray under water/ice dispenser may be overflowing (drain may be clogged, if so equipped).
(3) Leaking water supply line (to ice maker/water dispenser): Check:
(a) at inlet-valve fitting(s) and along all tubing going to ice maker & water dispenser,
(b) at water filter connections (check inlet & outlet fittings and any gaskets where filter is inserted,
>>> Tubing can develop a pinhole leak or crack if bent too sharply, pinched when unit is pushed back against a wall, contacting hot or vibrating parts (e.g. compressor or fan),
>>> If connections are the "push-on" style they can leak if the tubing is not cut off squarely - with no burrs, pinched, cracked or distorted ends (use a sharp knife or tubing cutter)
>>> If compression fittings are used with polyethylene tubing a ferrule must be inserted into the tubing end to prevent the tubing from distorting as the nut is tightened; also over-tightening nuts or reusing old compression rings under the nuts may cause leaks.
* Remember to vacuum out the dust bunnies from the fan, condenser coils and all air vents while you're poking around under the fridge!
