I have traced a leak from my refrigerator to the freezer door. At first I thought it was coming from a water line, but the water line and it's connectors are dry. I saw the leak coming from underneath the door, removed all food items from the freezer, and saw the leak coming from the molding around the door. The molding seems to be attached properly and securly, but I can still see the water leaking. I have dried the area and the leak continues quickly...

Any suggestions?

IS there water or ice on the bottom of the freezer? If so, the drain is clogged and will need to be opened up to solve the problem. It will be located in the evaporator section of the freezer

Old jedi- have you noticed any frost forming on the inside of the freezer door? is there any breaks in the inside plastic of the door? It may be that moisture is forming on inside of the door ,between out and innerpart of door ,then melting ,then come out holes or cracks, if the seal around the door is tore cracked or not making full contact when door is closed, hot air comeing will turn to water when it hits the cold air. Like when you have a glass of ICE tea and the warm or hot air around the glass hit the coldness of the ice inside the glass it forms water on out side of glass. Also make sure that the seal is clean, and around where freezer door contacts the metal of the refrig. HOPE This helps have a good day & GOD BLESS . Do you have water in freezer door, and ice,? F.B.E.

Yes, that was the first thing I noticed and took care of that situation... But, I did find that the water outlet vavle was leaking something fierce, so I turned off the water supply to the refrigerator and have already ordered a new piece...

All the seals around the door are secure, but it seems the leak forms at the very bottom of the door, so I will have to remove the seal completely to be sure there are no breaks or cracks underneath. Thanks for the help...
