How do I replace water tube? water flows down tube to ice maker, but also comes out under the tube and down back of freezer freezing in the fan assembly below. Frig appears to have no access on the top back side of the freezer. tube looks like it will come out from inside, but unclear on connections.

take out everything and at the lower inside back of the freezer you have a drain ..... pour hot water till it opens / the water comes from you evap when it goes into defrost and it cant get out the drain / Larry
SOURCE: freezer/ fridge not cooling, compressor not running
this refig has 2 independent temp controls one that operates the freezer side (this one also operates compressor, condenser fan and evporator fan) and one that controls the temp for the fresh food side this one operates a damper and evaporator motor.
I looked up you model number and you need to check the control that is located to the left side of the control panel or the freezer control. if it is 60f in the unit then if this control is good it should read infinity on a ohms meter. if its bad you will get no reading at all. alternatley you may try hitting the control solidly with the **** of a screwdriver sometimes the contact will hange open. message me back if you need further assistance. peyton...
SOURCE: There is a water leak inside the freezer
You need to remove the bottom two baskets, or more to make space. Using a hairdryer, defrost the back area. You should be able to locate a drain hole in the center below the freezer coils. This drain hole is connected on the outside to a drainpipe which has a p trap and often gets blocked up. You need to force water down the drain hole. You can use a turkey baster or similar type of plunger filled with water. Once you have cleared the blockage pour hot water till it runs freely. Hope this sorts your problem, don't forget to rate me.

Check close to the end I have suggestions on how to stop or eliminate delivery tube freeze ups.
Does it make Ice OK?
If so the ice-water valve may be at fault if neither work.
Eliminate water filter or frozen line to reservoir.
Make sure you have water to water valve
Shut off water, remove line, open water line. Catch water in container and
examine. Clean on particles let it flush out some more open and close til
clean. Verify pressure and flow.
Still no water?
Check voltage with a volt meter at the fill valve behind the refrigerator.
Attach volt meter to the coil wire plug just insert probes into them. Then push
the button on the door like your getting water. No volts? If has Ice maker pull
off the other set of wires on water valve and recheck with door switch. Still
no power? Problem in the ice - water door relay or control board.
If these check OK water valve is not opening when power applied replace water
valve. Power shows good replace water valve.

You need an Ice maker book to tell you what it could be and
what to look for.. Too many items to mention here.
I recommend if your problem is actually the ice maker itself
get a new or rebuilt one. Too many things to detail to make sure it all works
out in the end. However you might replace it and still have a problem. So here
is a list of items to check external of the ice maker to eliminate what might
be something else.
First lets see if we can eliminate some things:
Itemized as
Temperature, Water, Water delivery… It is assumed the refrigerator has been
running and not making ice and has remained on (NOT UNPLUGGED AND OFF) freezing
as normal before starting any of these tests and observations. Other wise you
will have to start over with the problem at hand before proceeding.
External of the ice maker:
1st Does the Freezer temp get down to 12'F? . The temp of the
freezer has to be this cold or colder for the ice maker to work. Just because
meat stays frozen (28’F and colder) doesn't mean it will freeze ice (12’F and
colder) and dump it out. You have to know and record your findings to be
objective and not subjective.
If not your problem may not be the ice maker at all. Eliminate it as a source
of heat in the freezer. It’s plugged into the wall of the freezer and has a
heater that warms the ice up to turn it loose for “harvest”. Unplug or remove
it. Recheck the temp after ½ to 1 hour with the doors closed during this time.
If its still not to temp your ice maker may be ok.
A lot of things can cause the temp of the freezer to stay high. But if this is
the situation you need to look for a different problem before condemning and
buying an Ice maker replacement
2nd Does it get water into the ice maker? If the water isn't getting
to it you need to check the water delivery system, water supply, and water
valve in the back.
The water delivery is easiest to check by shutting off the water removing the
supply line and catching the water in a container with the valve open 1 to 2
rounds to flush out any particles and verify good flow and pressure, and makes
sure when you turn it on you have clean water..
After you have eliminated this;
Next if your not getting water to the delivery tube and into
the ice maker
1 of 2 things is stopping the water. Either its: 1 mechanical or 2 electrical in
nature.
Mechanical
The easiest to look at is the obvious first. The water is
not falling off the delivery tube? Look inside the freezer. Make sure the
opening of the water delivery tube in back or side of the freezer is open and does
not have ice or frost on it. Ice, here, can freeze and close off the delivery
system. A common problem is lime or scale buildup, causing this ice to form. If
the tube has this problem, defrost it with a hair dryer. Clean the tube with
lime away or CLR. Re try it.

Hi, Remove the rear inside panel of the freezer and locate the drain hole under the evaporator coil. Remove the ice and flush the drain hole with hot water to make sure it is free. You can try running a soft wire through the drain also.
I hope this helps you. Please let me know if I can assist you further.
