There is what appears to be mold along the inside back wall of the freezer. Water is leaking into the bottom of the freezer. While some ices up, alot of it leaks out along the seam onto the floor. The seal appears fine, the unit is level and the doors are shutting all the way. THe ice and water in the door features work fine as well.
Check the defrost of the freezer which you are using right now.For More information please visit Clothes Dryer Element.

sounds like the line was frozen but the water fill indicator is faulty.

Hi All,
The fix to the "GE/Hotpoint Secret" frozen water dispenser problem is
the Dispenser Water Tube Heater Kit, P/N WR49X10173 that can be
purchased at Sears. Just a few bucks. My Hotpoint (model HSM25GFRA5A)
had the same issue and GE would not tell me anything but required a
technician to come out. The technician had no clue but after making
some calls found the heater at Sears and ordered it delivered to me.
He had to setup a return appointment but I canceled it after getting
the parts and fixing it myself. The instructions are in the kit.
Since most all GE/Hotpoint refrigerators (same model group of course)
use the same parts/assemblies this will work for lots of folks. See pic below. If
the area behind the cover looks like this it may be the part. Feel free to
email me for help on this ([email protected]). Piece of cake.

I had the same problem, the fridge would leak overnight (usually) I found with some more searching the answer..... try it at you own risk!
Here are 2 detailed answers depending on your circumstances/technical ability....Turn off fridge....
1. Defrost fridge...catch all the water
or
2. Work quickly....
Remove drawers, at the back of the fridge there is a panel with 5 phillips screws (note that there are long and short screws). Remove the screws and the panel. (if you chose the second option then this will be "frozen in place" so you will get crunching noise when you peel it away - so be careful when removing it). At the top of the panel is a connector that powers the fan, squeeze the 2 sides in to remove. This will allow the panel/ducting to be removed from the fridge. (If you chose option 2 you will now probably see a large lump of ice over the drain hole).
Remove ice or debris from drain hole, re-asssmble not forgetting to connect the fan again!!!) then repower the fridge following the instructions as you will get the alarms... the fridge cools and the warning lights dissapear.......24 hours on mine is OK!

You have a plugged defrost drain. On hot point refrigs this is fortunatley a very easy repair you can do yourself. remove bottom basket and lowest shelf, ( for sake of room you may remove all shleving. I usually only remove the bottom 2) you will see a ledge coming up from freezer floor to under a rear cover. there will be ice build up on this ledge. clear all of the ice you see and you will uncover the drain hole. next flush hot tap water into the drain hole until it is clear. I use a turkey baster or large syringe to do this but you can push your finger in and out kind of like a plunger to clear the blockage then pour hot water thru line until if flows freely.
If you have any other questions leave them here and I'll be glad to assist any way I can. thanks Peyton
SOURCE: water collects in bottom of freezer forming ice which leaks.
your drain hole is frozen over u need to unthaw with a steamer
Is this what you have? Go into the internet and you can get a new icemaker for about $40.00.
