your refrigerator can be repaired but you will have to have the entire evaporator replaced you can not just fix the crack in the aluminum you have to have a new evaporator soldered in. It will be fairly expensive to have a professional company do it, but not as much as replacing the refrigerator.
Some things I have seen that causes this issue:
A. Plug not sealing properly in the bottom of the water reservoir
B. An issue dealing with the circulation pump. Maybe splashing water out of the reservoir while running due to crack in pump housing, especially around impeller, or hose that feeds water from recirculation pump to cold plate has a crack/split/loose connection.
pull out the bottom shelf in the freezer to see if there is a sheet of ice. if there is, the drain ice iced up and will need to be defrosted with warm water. if not, then the drain pan under the fridge might have a crack in it or one of the plastic water lines could have a crack. hope this helps.
We need to know if the ice maker overflowed or if there is a crack. Sometimes the water gets frozen in the fill tube and diverts the water everywhere other that ice maker. Rare but sometimes something causes the water control valve to stick open on rear of refrigerator. Your ice maker has a thermostat inside it and starts a cycle when the thermostat says the water has frozen. That starts a cycle of about six thing to happen.The defrost element below ice maker warms the bottom just enough to loosen the ice. Micro switches feel and sense the position and as it nears ending the final step the ice maker tells the water control valve to open for a few seconds. An adjustment in that control may stop over flow. But if cracked in a major section it will need to be replaced. Let me know if this helps you. Sea Breeze
