• the water(in the bottom of the freezer) is coming from the freezer when is defrosts. the drain line is in the back wall of the freezer and may be clogged up with ice. clean out the freezer and pour some hot water in the very back of the freezer, this will hopefully unclog the drain. if not, then you have to take the back wall out of the freezer to get directly to the drain line. there should just be a couple screws holding it; it is just an aluminum or plastic panel.
  
• and
• the icemaker problem
• it could be that the water valve is slowly leaking water into up to the icemaker and freezing before dripping out of the tube. then when the icemaker turns on the water to the icemaker it is partially blocked by the ice and sprays water all over instead of gently falling into the icemaker.
• if this is the case then changing the water valve on the back of the machine and defrosting the fill tube behind the icemaker should fix this problem.

I can help with the puddles on the floor. Most likely your freezer drain is plugged. This site and others on the internet helped me solve my problem. Take off the back shroud and empty the freezer compartment. Take the screws out of the lower grate at the back of the freezer compartment. You can get the lower panel out with a little effort. The freezer coils are exposed. Below them is a kind of small light metal trough with a drain hole in the middle. You don't see it at first because it is covered with ice. I used a hair dryer to melt the ice. When it melted enough I removed a thin cake of ice to expose the drain. The drain was still frozen until I poured hot tap water in the trough several times. Inside the back of the refrigerator on the right is a little rubber coupling that connects the drain tube from below the coils and metal trough at a right angel to a tube that runs to a drain pan on the low left side at the back. After taking the coupling loose so I would not damage it, I put a thin screwdriver down through to finally unclog the drain. I recoupled the drain line, wiped up the floor and put everything back together. Everything works. Saved at least $150 and it only took about an hour. Oh, yes, the small hex screws on the back and the inside grate use the same small socket screwdriver. A lot handier than using a pair of pliers.

The defrost drain hole in the bottom of the freezer has frozen over. Turn off the fridge. Remove the shelves and bins. Remove the rear panel of the freezer. You will see ice on the bottom rear of the freezer. Use a hair dryer to melt the ice,especially in the drain hole once you get through the surface ice. Once the drain hole is clear,pour a cup of hot water through the drain hole followed by 1/4 cup bleach. Re-install your parts and turn the fridge back on.
