I just got an ED5FHAXVA installed yesterday. When I open the refrigerator compartment I can sometimes here what sounds like dripping. I do not not see any leaks or water. And it's not the defrost cycle because I know what it sounds like. This does not have a coil resevoir but a plastic tank. Thank you.
I'll check the drip pan. I didn't see any water coming out the door when I looked this morning. I can't hear it from the outside, only when I have the refrigerator door open. It sounds like it is IN the refrigerator.

sounds like your drain for the freezer defrost is either frozen over, or the plastic line to the drip tray under the refrig is plugged. first thing is to check the drain hole itself. you can do this by removing everything from the freezer and removing the screws to the back plate and take the plate off. the drain is in the bottom usually the center. the drain to the drip pan is under the refrig, and there is a hose just above it. the end of the hose is usually pressed together for sanitary reasons, and sometimes it gets gunked up. sometimes just rolling it between your fingers will open it up, if you think it may be above sometimes inserting the straw from a compressed air can in to the end and holding it firm with your fingers, and blow it out.. works too.
Mine had the same problem today. I found the drip tray under the screwed on panels in the freezer was full.
There is an evaporative tray above the compressor in back, and feeding that was a drain pipe that was blocked with crud. Removing and cleaning the cap made it flow freely again. Hopefully that fixes it.
Sounds like your refrigerator is just began missing defrost. Inside the control panel is a 10 hour 21 minute defrost timer. I want you to look into back of freezer to see if snow or frost is also building on the rear wall. If yes then I want you to find a small hole sometimes covered with a plastic plug in the control panel inside fresh food compartment. remove plug and place a flathead screwdriver into the hole and turn slowly clockwise until compressor and fans stop. After a few minutes open freezer door and listen for sounds of crackling or sizzling of water dripping onto the defrost heater. Let me know what you find, Sea Breeze
Removed everything from the freezes. Removed a false bottom from the freezer floor, 2 screws. There was an ice build up under this plastic bottom. I let the ice melt with the de-frost cycle (or frost free cycle). No more water dripping into the refrigerator compartment.
Tube sometimes freezes because of minerals in it hold one droplet at a time until buildup freezes solid. Replace tube first. Water valve allowing some droplets through can also cause this. Tube first-less expensive.
Not an original solution - but a good one. Remove panels at the back of the freezer compartment to expose the heater unit or heater wire that defrosts the freezer coils and wrap a solid copper wire gently around the heater/ heater wire and place the loose end in the drain. This will conduct heat to the freezer drain and help keep it open. I did see a manufactured part in one of the appliance parts websites but it did not match my unit.
sounds to me that maybe your draain lin is clogged up in your freezer compartment above your refrigerator. Look for a clear tube that should be runnig down either on thre outside or on the back wall and clear it out after you make sure that its not frozen. if it is then use either a light bulb or hair dryer to thaw out. Thanks for using FixYa.
Michael, I live in an apartment that has this model. I had a similar problem that the apartment maintenance man concluded was a clogged vent. I don't no precisely what he did to fix it but it involved opening the vent compartment and cleaning it out. Be sure to take everything off the shelves of the refrigerator before your start because it makes a mess. Good luck.
