Water leaking from freezer door and ice maker not gettin water

Frigidaire Pro Series fridge
model #FRT22TSEB2
Series# LA80402289
Year made...1998
For the last month or so my ice maker goes through the motions of making ice and yet, no cubes are made. I'm guessing the water is not getting to it. How do I check to see if this is the case and fix it? The motor is working just fine.
Also, for almost 3 months now the freezer door has begun dripping alot of water from the bottom of it, and either it ends up on the floor when you open the door, or it leaks down onto the top of the fridge door.
Any idea what would cause this??
Thank you for any help you can offer!!

    The line seems to be in the same position it has been for about two years. I checked though, to make certain, but to no avail. The style of fridge is topside freezer, bottom fridge not a side by side. Does the waterline run through the door?

    Thank you so much for that. Now I atleast know what I am looking for and possibly need to replace.

    Awesome Eddie, that was perfect!

    Have a great day

Check the fill tube for the ice maker and make sure it is in the correct place. This sounds like the fill tube has been moved and is running water into the freezer instead of the ice maker. Let me know what you find. I am here to help you.

  • Charles Caldwell Nov 14, 2008

    In order for the ice maker to make ice obviously water has to get to the ice maker. You stated that there was no ice cubes being made but the motor was running ok. This tells me that the water is probably not getting to the ice maker. With water running out the door and onto the floor I would assume that is where the water is going. There are three places that the water may be comming from. A cracked and leaking ice maker, A leaking fill tube or a leaking fill valve on the ice maker. You probably have ice on the floor of the freezer. In either of these cases the broken or cracked component will have to be replaced or repaired for this problem the be corrected.

Frigidaire professional refrigerator

Sounds like you have a problem with water valve/triple solenoid assembly. It controls the flow of water to the door and ice maker. I believe it comes as a complete unit.

I have a Frigidaire professional side by side fridge model# LPHS2687KFO water is leaking before entering ice maker thus the ice maker is not working, water is leaking in freezer

The water inlet valve on the back of unit opens when the ice maker needs water. If the valve doesn't seal good because of sediment or wear it will continue to drip and when the water reaches the ice maker supply tube it will freeze blocking the fill tube.. You can take the water line off the valve and watch to see if it drips.

Leaking water in side always

If the water leak is down the back or ctr its the drain line going to the underside of the fridge. If its down the side where the ice maker is its the ice make is not level if no ice maker your tray under the freezer may be leaking instead of draining.

Frigidaire fridge leaks where ice maker is on

Your leaking problem gives two possibilities. The water control valve for the ice maker side is defective and while shut off the water will continue to slowly flow and leak into the freezer compartment. The other possibility id the condensate defrost drain is blocked and frozen over behind the rear panel of the freezer and at the bottom of th coils. I believe your defrost condensate drain has a blockage of ice and will need to be defrosted and clean the condensate line from the freezer to the condensate collection plate below your refrigerator. Most times the blockage begins slowly until the opening of the drain hole under the evaporator freezes itself shut. Below is a link to some solutions I have collected over a period of time. Also has a short movie that makes the repair look simpler. There are many reasons for this happening for example water leaking from a water supply line for the dispenser or ice maker, a crack in the defrost pan, water leaking inside and draining through the refrigerator cabinet, but most are caused by a defrost drain line blockage. Below is a link that may be helpful so try to take it all in and use the parts that most refer to your specific problem, Thanks Sea Breeze

Smelly Ice and water leaking into top shelf

Does water in door dispenser taste bad? If not, Try arm and hammer fridge deoderizer. It will help to absorb fridge odors which may be clinging to water molecules in ice maker tray. Ice maker tray is open to freezer area.Water is very medium to infiltrate with odors. Try this first
