sounds like the drain live from freezer to outside is clogged. the water isnt making it you the condensate pan but coming out in the refrigerator. try finding and cleaning the drain line.

I had the same problem. The frezzer worked but the fridge was not getting cold. What I have learned is that the frezzer make the fridge cold, so if the frezzer is working then something is blocking the cold air to get into the fridge. Most likely ice. The air come in at the bottom of the inside of the fridge next to the frezzer. Pull everything out of the frezzer, then unscrew the plannel that runs along the back and you see if there is ice. If so turn frezzer off and dry out the frezzer. I used hot water.

It sounds like you have a frozen drain. You will need to shut the unit down for 24 hrs with the doors open to let the drain thaw. This should correct the problem. Good luck _MJ_

how is the food?is the ice cream getting soft? are you just having problems with the ice melting?you could have a bad water valve,water could be leaking past the valve,overflowing into the bin and will drip down,with the heater it's gonna work or not work when it should,there's a heater in the ice maker also

You will need to turn the water supply off to refrigerator and pull away from wall and then take the paper cover off cover the compreesor area. Take the old and defectice water control valve off and Click Here=> WR57X10050 There are two sides, one for ice maker and the other for the water dispenser. Wiring will only go on correct connection.

This is usual. In some refrigerators it is designed that way. It will keep the vegetables etc. in the fridge from drying out. Usually this spout is close to the back wall of the fridge. It is designed such that water drips directly to a small hall on the bottom of the fridge. It is important that you don't push the dishes or food in the fridge too far back. Otherwise water will be on you food. This spout should be far back as I mentioned. If, for some reason the water is dripping not close to the back, the spout may have beent damaged or bent. Check to see whether it is OK.

I'm not sure about your icemaker, but i think it should be fine. Simply put, fridges or freezers have to get hot to make themselves cold, and they do drip water from time to time, although usually not a substantial amount. If you want to learn more wiki fridges freezers etc. the water should be an issue unless there are some exposed electrical wires located near it.

It sounds as if this is a top mounted refrigerator. (freezer on top) If this is the case, check to see if you need to defrost the drain. You could also have a problem with the door seals. Remember the air coming out of the vent is freezer temp minus a few degrees. It could be that the moisture is condensing in that area.

sorry, about the timing, you have aclogged drain tube, your "self-defrosting" refrig isnt able to allow the derforst water to escape( tube if frozen) so it baks up into the frezzer area and eventually will drip into the frig. you will need to remove the back cover of freezer sect, and with a hair dryer remove all the ice from the drain trough area and clear the frozen drain tube area
