What is the question?

If there is an ice maker in the freezer, look to see if the water is coming from there. If it is then replace the solenoid valve where the water comes into the back of the refrigerator.

Replace the start relay on the compressor.

Take the SEAL and put it in a BATHTUB with HOT HOT WATER.... It is become very flexible. Dry it off well and attach it. You may need to use a hair dryer to deal with small defects in the seal, but patience will pay off well in this repair. kindy, Jim

sounds like a gas problem. either gas has leaked out, or there is a block in the pipes. this will need a technician to fix.

Hi my Whirlpool freezer is full of ice and getting ice in fridge too. What should I do?

Cold air sinks. If evaporator temp is not low enough only the items on bottom of freezer will get cold and possibly freeze - stuff on top will not. Throw a digital thermometer in there towards the top shelves and I bet your temps are high. Low refrigerant will cause this; furthermore, if you leave the refrigerator door open by accident, the refrigerator will never shut off, the freezer evaporator will freeze over with a block of ice, and the freezer temps will be higher. If that is what happened, simply unplug the unit and allow it to self defrost and then turn it back on for proper operation and make sure that the refrigerator door is properly closed!

I assume that the water is on the bottom of the fridge compartment? It could be that the drain trough has blocked and every time the fridge does an auto defrost, water runs out onto the floor of the fridge rather than down the drain. Once the defrost finishes, the water will stay on the floor of the fridge. Cold air falls to the bottom so its possible to get a sheet of ice in the bottom of the fridge. Locate the drain trough in the back wall of the fridge. See if you can visually locate any blockages or carefully dribble warm water down the drain to clear it.
