My ice maker has been replaced, however I still have water coming out the freezer door even though I turned off the water to the refer. I took the bottom shelf basket out and it was froze to the bottom. Someone had put a flat package against the vent and when I took it out I noticed red glowing lines through the vent holes. The Panel was hot. Also there seems to be a drain that was filled with nuts or some kind of debris.What do you think would be the solution to my problem,so no more water comes out and I could turn the water back on to my water and ice maker. Thanks
The answer to finding the cause of the leak is where we need to begin. Most start in the freezer section behind the rear panel where the defrost condensate is drained during defrost. Sometimes the drain hole freezes over and the water drains down into the freezer creating a large area of frozen water. Other times i happens as the water leaves the drain in the freezer and follows its path to the pan below your refrigerator to re evaporate into the air inside your home. If leaking inside the fresh food compartment then the cup behind the control panel may be over flowing and leaking down the back wall of the refrigerator and will need to be taken apart and cleaned to allow the water to continue down to the pan below the refrigerator. Sludge and dust or even ice may be blocking this line. Below is a link to a page that may help you resolve and fix this. If you have more questions feel free to let me know.

HOW TO FIX A LEAKING REFRIGERATOR OR FREEZER
Defrost that drain with a hair dryer and remove the debris . That should solve the problem . The red you see ( this is normal ) , is the defrost heater , thawing out the frost on the coils . The defrost water HAS to go out the drain or it will freeze the opening and the defrost water will flow out thru the bottom of the freezer door .
