I have a GE Monogram refrigerator that does not make ice. I have replaced the Ice Maker and the Filter. When the unit is turned on, water leaks from the very top of the refrigerator between the filter and the freezer. What are possible problems and solutions? Model #ZISS42ONMCS
Thanks in advance

Check under the refrigerator and see if the coils are blocked with dirt. If they are dirty remove rear cover and blow out and wash out with a spray of water from water hose until clean. Spray cleaner on the coils and keep water out of fan motor, but clean fan blades well. Vacuum up with wet-dry vac. To make ice and initiate cycle the freezer has to reach a certain temperature. If coils are dirty it will first stop making ice then burn up compressor and you will have to replace refrigerator when all it needed was for coils to be cleaned. I always would take the unit outside and thoroughly clean it inside and out and it was then like new again. You will have to remove the cover to the freezer coils to clean the inside coils. Then you can clean out the drain under the evaporator coils. Most people let the coils get so dirty that the compressor burns up. The coils should be cleaned every six months at a minimum.
