The water in the freezer is most likely caused by the drain in the freezer being plugged. You will need to disassemble the area around the freezer drain, to where you can see the drain hole. Clean the food out of the drain, and pour hot water through the drain. Then remove the drain pan under the refrigerator, and clean out the drain pan.
On the refrigerator door the door is not aligned right. Under the door gasket are hex head screws loosen them just enough to flex the door, when you can flex the door, push it close and force it to align to the refrigerator. Use a dollar bill closing the door on the bill, and tugging on the bill to see it there is tension on the bill. if there is the door seal is aligned, do this around the whole door until bill tugs all around the door, then tighten the hex head screws, being careful to not flex the door untill all screws are tight.
Not sure what is blocking your door from closing tight. there are adjustment screws on the top of the door hinges under the plastic caps that align the doors.(they are there on my maytag side by side). the water could be from some ice buildup in side the housing at the top of the inside of your fridge where the flap opens up to send cold air from the freezer to the fridge, especially if your door has not been closing properly that will ice up trying to keep the fridge cold. remove everything from your fridge, unplug it and take a blow dryer to that housing to remove any ice buildup on the flap then plug it back in. there are also diagnostic checks you can do using the temperature control buttons to test if the flap is working properly as well. they are in your owners manual.

Have you had a chance to locate the location the water inside freezer? There are many reasons for this to happen I just can not say it would be a defrost condensate drain blockage. Most times it is. Every 8 to 10 hours your freezer defrost and the water is surposed to follow a pipe or drain through the refrigerator to a pan below refrigerator where the warm air from condenser evaporates the water back to the air inside your home. That drain line sometimes slowly becomes blocked and then the drain hole becomes clogged with ice. Once that happens the drain needs to be cleared. I will try to help you solve this so for now I need you to see if water looks as if it came from rear of freezer. Placing photos on Flickr would be great! So tell me where you see it and yes we may need to pull a few things out. This is nothing a few towels, hair dryer hot water and Clorox and a wet vacuum cannot handle. Sea Breeze
