Hi
Try and access the ice dispenser assembly and check from where the water is leaking. You would need to disassemble the ice dispenser and ice maker to check this. The ice dispenser is located in the upper portion of the freezer compartment. This assembly stores ice made by the icemaker and dispenses ice on demand from the door dispenser target switch.
1. Remove the upper ice bucket tray.
2. Slide out the ice dispenser assembly.
3. Remove the ice cube solenoid linkage Phillips head screw and slide the linkage back.
4. Remove the ice crusher cover Phillips head screws (2) and remove the cover.
5. With a pair of pliers, twist off the backing plate tabs located on either side of the crusher.
6. With 2 small flat-blade screwdrivers, unlock the ice crusher locking tabs located at either side of the ice crusher.
7. Lift the ice crusher out of the bucket.
8. Remove the ice crusher back cover.
9. Remove the locking ring from the ice crusher auger.
10. Remove the plastic nut with a pair of pliers by turning it clockwise.
11. Remove the spacers and blades. The blades are numbered for reassembly.
Icemaker--
The icemaker is located in the upper rear of the freezer compartment and supplies ice to the dispenser tub.
1. Disconnect the icemaker cable connector.
2. Remove 1/4-in. icemaker mounting screws and slide out the icemaker.
This refrigerator is equipped with an Electronic Icemaker.
Hope this helps... Please post back if you need more information.

Hi Daniel,
I will look into the icemaker for the leak. Do I first have to disconnect or turn off the water going to the icemaker?

I was not able to work on the leak problem after your last reply. However, I did locate where the water was coming from. Behind the Deli-draw in the middle of the of the rear wall is a 4 x5 inch square where a cold air inlet is located. The water is leaking into the bottom of the Deli-draw area from the bottom right corner of this 4 x 5 inch square on the rear wall.
No other water can be seen running down the inside of the refrigerator.
1. Could this water be coming from the ice dispenser?
2. Is there any way to get behind the inside rear refrigerator wall or is my best bet to assume it is coming from the icemaker?
3. If I remove the icemaker at the rear of the freezer compartment, is there a gasket or washer where the water inlet is located?
Please advise. I cannot work on the proble until next weekend. Right now the water leakage is slow enough that I can wipe it up every evening.
Thanks,
Richard
Hi Daniel,
Two weeks ago you helped me with this problem. Due to other committments, I was not able to work on the leak problem until today. The solution you gave me did not work, although you charged me $16.00.
I removed the icemaker. Water enters into the icemaker from an inlet opening above the top rear of the icemaker. The icemaker has a large funnel shaped inlet just below the inlet supply. There is no way the leak occurs at this point.
In this refrigerator, the water filter is located in the upper rear corner and the icemaker is in the upper left corner. The water supply tube enters the rear of the refrigerator just behind the water filter. The water must go over to the icemaker from this point. The water is leaking from behind the inside wall and running down until it enters the bottom of the deli-draw.
How do I get behind the inside wall to find this leak?
