    Refrigerator Problem
    I found out why the icemaker cubes are clumping together. The force of the water coming into the tray is excessive. And splash all over the freezer. I tried the adjustment screw on the icemaker. And turned down the supply valve on the water line. But it still has force. Any suggestion. Another problem is water on the floor. But no water is in the refrigerator crisper bins. Water is at the bottom of the fridge near the non-removable drip tray. Very hard spot to work. Maybe the drain tube has a crack in it?

    No, the drain line is probably blocked.

    Seems to me like the fill tube may be loose or not over the tray. Make sure the tube is pointing into / inside the tray and terminates towards the bottom of the tray. Also, the fill tube may have have disengaged from one of its fittings spraying water into drip pan.

    Water flow is controlled electronically by the refrigerator itself. If you cannot locate the source of the leak, maybe you should call appliance service person to take a look at it.

    Thanks a lot. The fridge works like a champ. 10 years old. Never had a problem with it till recently .I'll check the ice-maker for re position it. Maybe the fill tube is a bit off center?
    The ice cubes are fine.
    As to the water underneath the fridge. I tried three times with a baster to clean out the line.The drain-pan has a lot of slime in it. There is no water in the crisper bins.

    Follow up: used turkey baster with hot water on the drain line. Still water collects bottom of fridge. Heat from condenser and evaporator should dispel the water.Maybe it is the condenser fan? I imagine that is the drip pan sitting on top see pictures
