Water squirting from ice maker

Our Magic Chef side by side is squirting water from the top (ice maker?) that runs down the inside of the freezer door, fills the bottom of the freezer, and leaks out onto the floor.

I think it's just when it's trying to make ice. It did it one time and we clamped the hose in the back. However, it was A LOT of water (what went onto the floor soaked 4 large bath towels).

I have same issue. We have dumped the ice and now are waiting for the water line to refill the tray to see if water is flowing down back of freezer. I get ice build up daily on the bottom of my freezer.

It appears that water is squirting from the ice maker area onto the freezer door. It makes ice from all the way down the inside of the door.

Ice maker is not getting water to make cubes.

The red light should flash, the most likely suspect is that the inlet tube that carries the water to the ice maker is frozen. If you open the freezer door and hold the swinging door in front of the ice maker up you will see a black rubber tube coming down from the top. If it feels hard it may have an ice block in it.

The best way to clear the block is to turn off the refrigerator or unplug it, warm up the tube with a hair dryer or for quicker unthawing take a turkey baster and squirt hot water into the tube catching the run off with a towel.

It can take quite some time and several cups of hot water to finally clear the ice. Once done it will take about 2 hours for the ice maker to cool back down and start a cycle to test it.

We have a Magic Chef CTB177GR refrigerator (no ice maker hooked up) that leaks...from where I don't know. I took off the lower back cover, it is dusty but no water present there. I pulled out the crispers...

Good day.
Water can only come from one place, where the frost is melted off the coil in the freezer during it's normal defrost cycles that occur daily.
Two styles. One style allows this condensed water to run down the back wall of the inside of the refrigerator, under the crispers and thru a hole in the bottom of the cabinet into a drain pan positioned
under the hole.
Possible missing pan, not positioned properly, or crack in the drain pan itself.
The other style drains the water to a hose mounted on the back of the machine, down and then into the pan.
Possible hose blocked, not connected properly, or the other items as described in first style.
It's a look-see type of repair.

Magic chef side by side heating instead of cooling :-(

Gee, I hope you didn't throw this one away. The cooling settings between the two sides are out of balance, or something is blocking the airflow between the freezer and the refrigerator. Make sure the ducts that blow air are not blocked, set both sides on a medium setting, and give it some time (12-24 hours) to equilibrate. Also make sure the fans are running and the coils are free of dust. I have to clear the coils of my current refrigerator once a week from accumulated cat toys. Generally the cat alerts me long before the fridge does.

Magic Chef Side by Side MOdel RC224RDA

I have the same problem. It turned out to be a problem with the doors. When my kids go to get a snack and close the fridge door (read slam the door) the air pressure pops the seal open on the freezer door causing the ice cubes to begin melting. The bottom items stay frozen (warm air rises). It took me a long time to work this out.
Remove the ice maker tray. Remove the ice blob, being careful to put the u-shaped wire ice-level sensing wire thing, in the up position or the system will dump ice and water all over the freezer. Put all back clean and dry and buy a velcro adhesive strip and install it on top of the freezer door to prevent the door from always blowing open.
Hope this helps

Magic chef fridge #ctb1722grq

Behind the panel in the freezer there is a drain hole that is underneath the evaporator. It is frozen over. Take the back panel off and get all of the ice out and run hot water down the drain until it is clear. When the unit goes into defrost some of that ice melts and drips down thru the vent into the fridge section.
