I am going to assume you have a defrost condensate blockage in the rear of the
freezer and behind the rear panel where the evaporator dreains condensate after each defros. Please correct me if I am wrong.
The answer to finding the cause of the leak is where we need to begin. Most start in the freezer section behind the rear panel where the defrost condensate is drained during defrost. Sometimes the drain hole freezes over and the water drains down into the freezer creating a large area of frozen water. Other
times i happens as the water leaves the drain in the freezer and follows its path to the pan below your
refrigerator to re evaporate into the air inside your home. If leaking inside the fresh
food compartment then the cup behind the control panel may be over flowing and leaking down the back wall of the
refrigerator and will need to be taken apart and cleaned to allow the water to continue down to the pan below the refrigerator. Sludge and dust or even ice may be blocking this line. Below is a link to a page that may help you resolve and fix this. If you have more questions feel free to let me know.

Not 100% sure I have solved the problem. I removed inside refrig panel, evaperator was frozen again and creating water to drip through water line for rerigerator door, this then pools under refrigerator, seaking the lowest spot under the bottom of fregerator. I poured warm water down the drain area until water flowed to pan underneath. The problem has not come back, but it is only day three since I did this service. Crossing my fingers and hoping for a good result. Not sure what the actual cause is?
