A leaking fridge needs to be repaired quickly as it can lead to water damage in your home or business. In many cases the cause of the leakage is a clogged or frozen defrost drain hose. In other cases the fridge might be leaking due to a faulty water inlet valve.
Defrost Drain: If the defrost drain is frozen or clogged then water will overflow the drain trough and eventually make its way onto your floor. If the drain is frozen you can try flushing it with hot water. Also check for blockages.
Water Tank: The water tank assembly could have a leak. It may be very small so check carefully. If a leak is found the water tank must be replaced.

Check it out for more info on your fridge leak. Good luck!
Possible the drain hole inside (there for when it defrosts, and if there is one), is clogged. My main fridge just had that leaking issue caused by this. I used turkey baster to purge.

yes remove the rear panel in the freezer where you see the drain hole. Clear the ice from the drain hole. It will take a while for the water to start to drain because the ice is deep in the insulation. A small tube is helpful to draw some hot water in and stick in in the drain hole and squirt the hot water down in the hole.

SOURCE: Water leaking from freezer door and ice maker not gettin water
Check the fill tube for the ice maker and make sure it is in the correct place. This sounds like the fill tube has been moved and is running water into the freezer instead of the ice maker. Let me know what you find. I am here to help you.
SOURCE: water dispenser dripping
The seat in the door valve has probably failed or has some trash in it.
SOURCE: water leaking onto floor when defrosting automatically
There are many reasons for this happening for example water leaking from a water supply line for the dispenser or ice maker, a crack in the defrost pan, water leaking inside and draining through the refrigerator cabinet, but most are cased by a defrost drain line blockage.
