I recently replaced my Coldspot water filter and after doing so I drained about a gallon or two from water through the door. However, every time I get ice through the door, the water filter in the top of the fridge leaks inside the fridge.
If it was not leaking before you changed it out then the way it is installed is not correct. Open it up and adjust the filter and make sure you have it screwed in correctly. Also check the water pipes and make sure one has not come loose and is giving you ths issue. You can try to open the door and see where it is leaking to make it easier for you to fix the problem.
You may have a frozen or clogged line going to or coming from the fridge.
I have a Whirlpool/Gold refrigerator that is 8 yrs old. It has and still is working fine except recently there is water on the top shelf and more water under the two crisper drawers. I checked the ice maker and it isn't leaking. I can't understand nor find where the water in coming from. There is no outside drain tube like on my old previous fridge which was where I could clear a clog if needed.
I defrosted the fridge for two whole days and after starting it again, the water seemed to stop for about three weeks, but it started leaking again. If something is blocked where do I find whatever is blocked? If there is a drain tube then where is it inside the fridge? Anyone else have this problem and how did you fix it? Help.

Determining where it is leaking can help you figure out how to stop it. The line to the ice maker may be frozen allowing the water to spill over. This is a page about refrigerator water supply line leaking.
My Kenmore ice box is leaking. How do I remove the inside panel?

I have a two door GE refrigerator and water seems to leak in the tray. The problem is there is no water line hooked up.

I have a Coldspot with an icemaker and water dispense (inside of fridge), there is no outside dispensing of ice or water. Water will occasionally leak in the fridge and freezer. I have defrosted and so far no water in the freezer section, but still occasionally in fridge. I have to leave a container in back of the fridge to catch the water. It makes ice and dispenses water just fine. Any advice?

I shut off the water valve behind the fridge due to a possible leak. Will my pipes possibly burst due to a pressure problem?
I dont think so. My dishwasher was leaking and we had to turn off the water to the dishwasher until it could be repaired.
I have a Kenmore model 596.72003011 bottom mount refrigerator. There seems to be water leaking into the freezer compartment from some where? When it gets into the bottom there it forms an ice lake. After about 3 days the ice lake reaches the seal and then the units begins to leak water onto the floor from the melting ice. The ice maker functions properly, the water dispenser works fine, the leak is not apparent at the filter.
The water can be seen leaking at the bottom of the coils at the back of the freezer section just below the coils. When I turn off the water supply to the unit the leak stops. There is no apparent accumulation of water in the refrigerator section of the unit. Any ideas where the water leak may be?The freezer drain hose may be freezing. Make sure it is clean. Vacuum the coils on the bottom or back of the refrigerator.
I have a Kenmore fridge with a ice maker. The water line is leaking from the front of the fridge behind the bottom grill and behind the fridge where it connects to the ice maker on the back side. It's leaking because the movers yanked the water line out and the red and blue connector is stripped and won't stay in the holes. Not sure if it's called a connector but the parts store doesn't know what it's called either. Any suggestions? I've already looked at the Sears website and can't seem to find anything.

At Lowe's or any home improvement store you can buy a kit to replace the plastic tubing that is your water line, it will have the connectors you need. The one I just bought had a universal connector, and it worked perfectly.
I have a double door GE refrigerator that is leaking from the freezer door. I know that the drain line is clear. The door is leaking from the bottom of the door. I removed the inside cover and checked behind the door cover, but could not see anything because of the door being filled with Styrofoam. What would this water be leaking from?

I don't have a GE side by side, but I do have a Maytag side by side that had the same thing happening. I discovered that if I pulled it out and vaccumed out everywhere I could reach from the back side and underneath in the front (remove the grill), all the leaking stopped.
My ice maker is in the closet. My refrigerator is not connected to any water lines. The water and ice area on the door is leaking! Why?
was it connected at one time? If it was, there is still water in the lines unless you blew them out, it will leak out.
You may have a crack in the dispenser.
My Frigidaire side by side refrigerator Model FRS26LF7DS7 side-by-side leaks water on floor (toward middle of unit) when the water dispenser is depressed. The water and ice work fine. I noticed a slight "hissing" noise when water is dispensing.
It sounds like a leak in the water line that is inside the fridge (not the one that comes from the wall)
You could have a leak from the water line to the ice maker.
I have a GE top mount refrigerator. The icemaker isn't making ice, but the water is running down inside the back panel. Help!
