The water was not coming from the dispenser or the ice maker. It is a result of a plugged defrost drain tube.
When the refrigerator goes into defrost, if the water is unable to get out the defrost drain, it ends up on the floor of the freezer. You will have to clear out the defrost drain. It is a tube which is behind the back wall of the freezer compartment, at the very bottom of the cooling coils. Use a turkey baster with hot (not boiling) water to flush it out until the water runs out the drain (and into the defrost drain pan under the refrigerator where it will evaporate as the fan blows air over it).

clear ice and with hot water pour into the drain hole till open and drains ,, take back panel of freezer out and wrap a piece of thick cooper wire around the heater and drop into the drain hold about 1in and it will keep drain open / thanks

Possibly the defrost element is faulty, this is located behind a cover in the back of the freezer compartment and is attached to the fins of the evaporator. It also has a defrost limit thermostat which could also be the problem. I presume that the fan is working after you have defrosted the unit?

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.
