Ice Maker floods floor and freezer compartment

The supply line first blew off at the fill tube behind the fridge near the top and flooded the floor. I defrosted the fill tube - not sure it was frozen - and turned unit on again. This time it flooded the freezer compartment instead. Am prepared to replace entire ice maker module but not sure if problem is module, fill tube or inlet valve. Freezer was VERY cold - -20 or so. Any suggestions?

    Water leaking from icemaker itself, and down front of freezer and contents. Now have new ice maker module. Removed bottom screw on existing unit but top appears to be held in by plastic clips? When I torque the unit outwards to free it it looks like the clips will break or tear out from the freezer wall. Also, I can't seem to disconnect the power from the back of the freezer. Tried pulling it off and squeezing with pliers as I pull with no success. Probably easier to do with the unit loose from the freezer wall but I can't seem to make that happen either! Any advice?

You may not have got the supply tube all the way into position so I would check this first. If the water is running down the back wall of the freezer compartment at a higher level than the icemaker the problem is not with the icemaker but with some break in the supply chain. If the water is overflowing from the icemaker then it could be the timer cycle on the icemaker or the water inlet solenoid valve at the back of the cabinet (compressor side). Water leaks need to be traced back to the highest point ( I know how obvious that sounds but sometimes we all miss the obvious). Hope this is of some help.

Hi,

One big question before you go hunting. Before you turn off the water, was the water running all the time? Meaning if the water had a continuos flow the leak is before the fridge. If the leak is erratic then its on the valve side to fridge.
Follow the water source in the fridge, supply line to water valve (bottom right behind the fridge), from there it should run straight up the back into the freezer. So, if the water is coming from the valve, replace it, if from the water line - replace it. If the water line came off or out of the freezer reconnect and check for a frozen fill tube.
I hope this information helps.

Fridge leaks water on floor constantly
does it have an ice maker and or water dispensor? if so start by turning off the water supply, see if the leaking stops. if it stoped you may have a broken water line or the water level valve is leaking. if that isn't the issue check your seal around the door to make sure it isn't leaking in warm air. if that is ok you will need to look at the self defroster to make sure it isnt defrosting all of the time.

I have an old GE fridge with ice maker in freezer, water started leaking and flooded floor of freezer and started leaking outside freezer. What's going on & how do I fix it?
I think you need a new fridge/freezer. Look for offers now on sale some are quite reasonably priced and home Depot has interest free credit.

Fridge warm, freezer has frost on back panel & is defrosting, fans work, just changed defrost thermostat, no air is moving from freezer side to fridge side, drain pan under fridge is dry
this fan needs to run when the compressor runs,check fan blade for being jammed by ice if you have this much ice on back wall as ice will stall motor,if no fan there will be no cool air to refrige compartment also the defrost drain tray will fill with water then freeze over which in turn floods the freezer floor and refrige compartments cause it cannot drain to the pan in the bottom

GOOD MORNING, I AM WORKING ON A WHIRLPOOL S/S. REFRIGERATOR MOD#GS5SHAXNLOO. THIS IS THE MODEL THAT THE WATER FILTER HOUSING IS LOCATED ON THE BOTTOM BEHIND THE KICK PLATE.I WAS WONDERING IF ANYONE ELSE...
I think your unit is clogged somewhere, the water should drain into a pan under the freezer and down a tube to a pan under the fridge which is located just behind the front kick plate. here it should evaporate NOW if the tube gets clogged the water has to to go someplace. meaning the leaking water may not exactly be coming from where you are thinking, it could be somewhere up stream. you could apply some silcon on the poits you suspect and see.

go to www.applaiincepros.com and look up your modle it could be the defrost timer but not sure, if the fridge was built after 1991 it is energy star, but there are big differences even from 5 years ago on energy useage.

The freezer part of the fridge fills with ice and leaks so there is a small puddle of water on the floor periodically.
It sounds like you have a clogged drain. When the freezer defrosts the water goes out a drain in the bottom of the fridge. Something probably fell into the drain and now the water has no where to go but onto the floor. The freezer defrosts regularly so unless you clean out the drain it will only get worse. Hope this helps

Ice maker flooded top freezer compartment
It may be just the water control valve on back of refrigerator. Put tap water in ice maker and lower lever for on. After ice is made, does it drop to tray? At this time when empty is the time the control valve is asked for water. The problem could be in valve on back or the inside ice maker itself. If you can try a few test with me I will help you locate the problem. Let me know what you find as I go through this with you. Sea Breeze
