Water leaking out of door , seems like it might be a problem with the door hinge ?

the first thing i would try is to loosen the hing screws couple of turns,push in on the bottom hinge and tighten screws.

Hello Frank,
The line that runs from under the freezer door and connects to the dispenser is cracked or the connector is cracked. By removing the lower hinge cover ya should be able to see where the line connects to the door and see if it seems to be cracked and leaking their,if that connector is good then the line inside of the door is leaking..in some cases depending on brand the line is easily replacable without having to dis-assamble the entire door

I believe your water line or the union nut just behind the kickplate may have come loose. Lets see if we can find a repair kit and get you going again. Depending on where the line is broken or leaking will depend on just how much you will need to do so if leaking at the union nut please disregard removal of door.
WARNING

To avoid risk of electrical shock, severe personal injury or death; disconnect power to unit before servicing, unless

testing requires power. Discharge capacitor through a 10,000 ohm resistor before handling. Wires removed during
disassembly must be placed on the correct terminals to ensure proper grounding and polarization.

Here are the instructions from the manual below.

1. Open door and remove all storage buckets.

2. Remove toe grille.

NOTE: Shut off water supply before performing Step 3.

Have a bucket ready to catch spillage from tube.

3. Loosen water-tube clamp screw. Loosen plastic

water-tube union nut. Pull water tube away from

union nut and through tube clamp.

4. Remove screw that mounts door closure to top

surface of bottom hinge.

5. Close door.

6. Remove screw holding top hinge cover in place.
Remove top-hinge cover.

7. Unplug wiring harness connectors. Remove ground
screw and ground wire from top hinge.

8. Remove top hinge and hinge bushing. Pull hinge and

bushing off wiring harness.

NOTE: Hinge shim is glued to top of cabinet and must

be left in place.

9. Lift door about 3 inches to bring lower hinge bushing

up, off hinge pin.

10. Set bottom edge of door on protective pad. Remove

hinge pin (with door-closure tab) from bottom hinge

bracket.
11. Reverse procedure to rehang door.

The gasket may have worn some causing an air leak,.and you
are seeing water condensation from the leak. Try adjusting
the door hinge. Close the door on a piece of paper and see if
you can pull the paper out. Adjust the hinge until the paper is
tight.You may have to adjust both hinges to align it properly.

Must be the line going to water dispenser. The manual below has pictures. Use it as a guide to repair the leak.

I will look for your service manual and tell you that first it's most likely a blockage in the defrost condensate line. There are many reasons for this happening for example water leaking from a water supply line for the dispenser or ice maker, a in the defrost pan,
water leaking and draining through the refrigerator cabinet, but most are caused by a defrost drain line blockage.

Check inside the door on the bellows gasket to make sure the inlet area (normally at the 10 o'clock position) is properly positioned around the water inlet, sometimes these work themselves off the inlet nozzle and can casue a leak when the washer is filling up.

Also, carefully run your hand around the bellows gasket to see if you can find any small holes that cold be letting water leak out. You'll need a flashlight to make this easier. It is hardly ever the hinges that causes a leak since the hinges are mounted outside of the door seal gasket (bellows gasket) and aren't ever exposed to the water.

This is commonly caused by a worn door seal. Post your make and model number and I can assist you in identifying a part number.

The door hinges have nylon bushings/washers to help them work smoothly. If the unit is very old and had a lot of use (like a large family) the bushings or washers could be just worn away. This also is indicated if the doors seem to be misaligned. If the doors don't seem out of place, it could just be that the unit is not sitting on a level surface, causing the box to twist and the doors th therefore bind.
Other possibilities: The door is burdened heavily with the milk, juices, food, etc. and therefore is just plain heavy. You have a "water-thru-the-door" unit and some leak has occurred to fill the door and it's insulation with water. (eww!)
Check to see that the surface is level, and that the door fits correctly. Make replacements or adjustments as necessary. Lighten the load on the door, or fix the leak.

If you find my suggestions to be helpful, please share with us some details so that others may benefit from knowing the whole story. Thank you!
