I have water standing in the bottom of the refridgerator and have no idea where it is coming from. It has an ice maker but the water is shut off to it.
I keep a towel in the bottom to keep the water soaked up and I have to change it out about 1-2 times a week. the best I can tell it is running down the back of the fridge.
also, my icemaker will not fill up when the water is turned on to it.
can someone please give me some pointers on what to do to fix these problems?
my email is sprckngray@yahoo.com

thanks

Your drain tube must be stopped up with ice at the upper end because it drains too slow because it's stopped up at the lower end in the evaporator pan under the unit at the floor. It can get dust and mold in it. Once you get the ice out at the top a little air pressure will usually clear it out. Flush it out with hot water and clorox may help. Make sure it drains quick enough. The drain should be located below the evaporator coils on the lower back of the freezer.



Try swapping the wires on the dual water inlet valve. Then try the water dispenser. The water should go to the ice maker. This will tell you weather or not the ice maker valve is working and if the line is clear.
