I don't know the name of the part, but there is a daily leak coming from inside the refrigerator about the top shelf near the back. We placed a bowl there to collect the water

most likely the drain hole is clogged. So everytime the fridge goes on defrost, thetes no whete for the water to drains so it drains down into the refrigerated section. Remove back panel in freezer. Drain hole is located under the evaporator. therte should be a thin metal pan under evap and drain hole is in the middle of pan. Remove ice and clear drain hole. Pour hot water down it and listen to make sure its flowing into drain pan under rrefrigerator.

LEAKS WATER ON TOP SHELF OF UNIT

You most likely have a stopped up drain in the freezer. When the freezer goes into defrost, the water drains out and down the back of the unit. Into a pan located on top of or close to the compressor. You will need to unclog the drain.

Kenmore elite - Water dripping from freezer to refrigerator

Your refrigerator has a defrost drain blockage behind the evaporator in your your freezer compartment. Some models like yours have leak in the turns as the water leaves the freezer. I recommend that you unplug and remove the cover to the evaporator and check the defrost condensate tray below the evaporator. A wet vacuum cleaner and poring a solution with clorox in the drain will help you clean locate the leak and where the blockage may be downline.. I do have the manual on yours and can help you solve this. Some times this is a factory defect and I can help you solve the freezing drain problem. Let me know, Sea Breeze

Water dripping from freezer onto top shelf of fridge with ice buildup back of freezer

the defroster isn't close enough to the drain to be effective. remove the back wall of the inside of the freezer, remove the excess ice. clear out the ice from the drain using hot water and a turkey baster. there is a kit from whirlpool that uses a piece of metal and a screw around the defrost rod, but I found out that a piece of 14 gauge solid core wire with the insulation stripped off works great too. stick the stripped wire into the drain, 2 to 3 inches, and wrap the rest around the defrost rod.

Whirlpool has water drip inside fridge

sounds like a drain clog in the freezer compartment above. remove the freezer rear panel and totally defrost the evaporator area, directly under the evap you see( under all taht ice) a small drain hole that has become frozen over, try defrosting with either a hair dryer( not a heat gun too much heat youl melt everything) or by pouring hot water donw the drain until you get a free flow of water down the tube. after its clear reassemble and you should be fine

Water build up at top of fridge.dripping down on shelf

there is a drain line somewhere in the back wall of the freezer that drains out the water when defrosting. this line is apparently clogged. defrost the freezer if needed and look on the back of the refrigerator or in the back of the freezer for this drain. sometimes you have to take off the back panel to see it.
you can try to pour some hot water in the back of the freezer to try to flush it out, it may just be frozen over.
i usually just take it outside and blast it out with a hose, but thats just me.

Estate TT21AKXKQ Refrigerator Leak

sounds like you have a clogged defrost drain tube. removing back panel of freezer will give you acess to drain trough, melt away the ice with a hair dryer, youll find a drain hole under there somwhere,pouring boiling water down the drain will clear it pretty quickly( i use a steam machine purchased from the infomercials works awesome, after you clear it and all water drain down tube wrap a piece of solid copper wirearound the heater( black calrod heater right above the drain trough) and stick it in the whole maybe an inch or so. now everythime the heater comes on to defrost it will prevent the hole from freezing over
