You probably have a blocked or frozen drain hole in the freezer. This means that the water formed during defrost can't drain down to the evaporator tray beneath the fridge and instead goes through overflow holes into the refrigerator.

I posted about how I solved this problem in another post:

The drain hole / drain tube in your freezer are probably blocked or even frozen shut so that the defrost water is leaking into fridge. See my answer here:

Sanford,

How old is the unit. If very old then the beading around the fridge door may have gone and started leaking. If so, then the frodge will not cool to the desired temperature. If so, then the beeding needs to be changed. Mostly they are press fitted and can be pulled apart.

If not so, then the thermostat of the fridge may be the culprit. It needs a replacement. Please remove it from the body and replace it with exactly the same/similar piece.

Hello and Welcome to FixYa!
Actually the leaking water is from the evaporator coil unit.... Under normal conditions,Self-defrost refrigerators usually dispose the water generated during the defrost cycle through a tube or channel that directs the water a pan (Known as Drip pan), commonly below the refrigerator unit....
The channel or tube is clogged and the water is leaking to the refrigerator unit, so you need to clear that contamination.... This is all you need to do....

Best of Luck,

I have the same problem! HELP!

Your problem more than likely is a plugged defrost line in the freezer...The freezer goes through periodic defrost cyles to keep the coils from freezing up. The water catches in a trough pan in the freezer and flows through a drain hole to the bottom of the fridge where it evaporates. This drain hole perodically freezes up and the water accomulates under the freezer bottom until the water level reaches your vent ports to the fridge section. Open your freezer and on the bottom floor of your freezer you should see two screws near the front on either side. Remove them and then take out the bottom tray....this will expose the drain hole near the rear of the freezer compartment. You will more than likely have to remove ice under the tray in order to see the drain hole. Remove the lower back panel on the back of the refrigerator and you should be able to see the drain line coming from the freezer. Unplug the refrigerator before you begin work. It will take a little while for the drain line to thaw to allow liquid to flow to the bottom. I find a hair dryer pretty handy in speeding up the process. To verify you have unplugged the drain line you should be able to pour hot water in the drain hole in the freezer and see it come out at the rear of the fridge in tube line just above a little catch pan

If the problem is only that you don't have any flow of water in ice maker then you should check the water solenoid, the water filter if its cogged or water container if it is frozen,
In any case the Ice maker is abot $140

You may have a bad gasket, which is allowing moisture laden air to be sucked into the refrigerator. The moisture then condenses on the walls / shelving, and finds its way to the bottom.

If you have a 5/16th nut driver pop the top hinge cover and remove the 3 screws then take the top door off. Back off the middle hinge and reposition it do the door no longer sags. Tighten them screws and put the top back on using the same procedure. Hold the door in the correct position you want whist tightening down them screws on top. Snap the cover back on. Raise the front egs a hair to throw the weight of them doors towards the rear of the ice box and take some the work off them hinges. Then Party on!
