Here's the problem, the bottom freezer had ice build up in it, I removed the back panel and defrosted the ice, that went fine but my real problem is the freezer seems to leak from under the door where the water line comes into the freezer door. If I turn the water valve off the freezer does not leak, if I turn it on I get the same leak under the door can anyone help. Thanks

Is there an ice build up on the freezer floor?

Would it leak if the water valve is "on" but you would not use the water dispenser?

Inspect the water tube under the refrigerator all the way to the freezer door.

Here are the break down diagrams for the GE refrigerator Model TFH30PRTBWW

there was ice build up on the freezer floor but I took the back panel off and defrosted the coils and tray. The leak under the door hinge only leaks when the water vavle is turned on. I check the water tube and its fine. Today I check the back of the frigde to test the water inlet valve only to find the water line at the back was broken, I replaced it and for some reason Im not getting an water at all to the ice maker now, when previsouly the only reason it was shut off was cause it was leaking. I think I checked the water inlet right, But my gut feeling tells me its the water inlet valve. Have any advice if so i would appreciate it thanks!
