I have a side by side with water and ice in the door. There is water seeping from the door into the bottom of the freezer side. About every week or so it is built up enough that it leaks out onto the floor. I remove the ice block that has formed in the bottom of the freezer and the cycle repeats. I think that I have determined that the leak is in the water supply hose going up through the hinge area to the dispenser. I don't know how to get inside the door to repair or replace the tubing. Can anyone help me?
Thanks

You will have to remove the control panel,(two screws)and slide upwards and disconnect wiring connectors. At the back of the water nozzle the is a screw holding it in position,remove. Undo the two screws holing on the front plinth and you will find a water connector, disconnect the hose from the door side. Back op to the controls now and gentle pull on the nozzle and it will slide out of the door. Fitting the new nozzle kit ( available from Whirlpool)is a reversal of above. Hope that makes sense to you
