On the back of the unit at the bottom, there should be a tube that you can pull off and it is probably clogged. You might need to get a towel or something to catch the water that is in the drain line. Also, be careful to get the tube back into the drain pan ( under the refrigerator) so that it doesn't drain onto the floor. This tube is attached to the line that comes from the freezer. water is shed during defrost. I had to do this about a month ago on my refrigerator at home.

Hope that helps.

SOURCE: water buildup inside of refrigerator

It may be the fact that your evaporater pan is not working. The freezer and fridge have drains inside them. The water inside and condensation go down tube that you see on backside of your fridge. This tube goes into a drainpan in the bottom and than evaporates.
You should also check to make sure your fridge and freezer are cold enough.

Ice buildup in freezer drawer then melts and leaks out on floor Whirlpool Gold GI6SARXXF02

Usually there is a drain hose from the freezer to a holding area (like a pan or container) where the water stays until it evaporates. Could be that the drain hose has become disconnected and the liquid is leaking down the inside of the appliance onto the floor instead of being directly into the holding pan.

My Whirlpool Gold Series Fridge is not cold in Fridge part, but is still working in freezer part. What might the remedy be?

Could be a few things. One could be a bad evaporator fan motor in the freezer section. The fan motor will only come on when the light switch is closed so make sure you hold down the light switch when you check it. Could be a defrost timer or defrost bimetal. You will know because you will have ice buildup on the back wall inside the freezer. Also could be icebuildup in the return air duct. They are located under the drawers in the refrigerator.

Why is the water coming out of the dispensor not cold

Is your fridge compartment temperature in the region of 2 ~ 6 C range. Is your fridge food not going bad. Then dispensor water should be cool. Cool water tank is normally hidden inside fridge compartment. Lowest temp is around 2 ~ 6 C range.

If you keep on taking water rapidly then there is no time for the cooling tank to cool. You are just pushing house water through the water dispensor.

I have a whirlpool gold dishwasher model Quiet Partner 3. The top rack is not cleaning the dishes very well. We live in the country and have hard water. I am wondering if there could be a buildup of some...

if it is just affecting the upper rack i doubt it is just a plugged spray arm (though i could be wrong). more likely than not you have a blockage on the intake of your spray pump motor. a series of bones, toothpicks, foreign material, etc could be blocking the entrance of the pump causing it to starve for water so to speak.
you will more than likely need to remove the lower rack and spray arm to be able to disassemble the strainer and gain access to the sump.
a complete model number would help bunches to.. alas
