Usually any defrost water sits in a plastic pan and evaporates away in normal operation. If the pan becomes brittle it cracks and leaks water. Pull the fridge out and look on top of the black pot (compressor) Is there a plastic drain pan sat on top of it?
Sometimes if the fridge is working hard a lump of ice can form on the pipework going back to the compressor which melts causing some water at the front of the fridge.
Lastly, the insulation under the fridge may have broken down, allowing condensation to form and drip. If the drain was blocked, the water would be inside the fridge, not underneath.

SOURCE: my GE Refrigerator leeks water underneath when it

There is a pan under the the refrigerator that is to catch the water and let it evaporate from the heat from the compressor. The pan may have a hole in it or the little hose is not draining the water into the pan. This should be an easy fix.
Best of luck I hope this helps you:)

SOURCE: have side by side 10 years leaking water on floor

clogged drain causing the water that cant reach the drain pan underneath to leak on the floor. Unplug fridge and open doors for 24 to melt ice likely clogging up drain. If that doesnt fix, you'll need to call refrigerator repair service

Why does refrigerator have odor underneath

Odor from under frig can come from the fresh food drain into the evaporator drip pan or from spillage of food under the refrigerator. If it is a high temperature smell, it can be due to accumulation of lint and dirt on the coils and fan under neath the refrigerator. All refrigerator need a yearly cleaing done underneath the refrigerator, both the floor and the components.

Whirlpool gold refrigerator leaking under neath on the side

If its leaking all the time you could have a problem with the water supply line (if it has an icemaker)Or the solenoid valve (water valve) that opens to refill the icemaker after it drops (harvests) the ice.Or the plastic water lines that run from the valve up to the icemaker.You should pull the frig out from the wall and check the back for leaks.You could also Just shut off the water supply to the unit and see if it stops.These leeks cause a lot of damage when they go unnoticed for a long time.I would check it out asap.

Water is leaking onto the floor from underneath the refrigerator.

There is a condensor tray located underneath. It catches water and then the water evporates. Sometimes the tube gets plugged and causes a mess. Check the tube and the condensation tray. You can access the tray by just taking off the grille under the door on the front of the refrigerator.

There is a tray that is in the bottom, remove the cover thats located just under the doors in front. You will see it most of time black in color and it will be easy to pull out be careful for it will be full. Its from condensation most the time in the summer this happens really no problem. if thats not it check the ice maker water supply line that could be it also.
