Water is leaking from freezer section--small amount--There is frozen water in bottom of freezer. The ice maker has been disconnected for several months. Water is found standing on top of vent or dust catcher(whatever you call it). Small amount of water is traveling down thru copper tubing hole and leaking thru ceiling in basement
Check for a blocked defrost drain. Take the panel off at the back of the freezer section and find the small hole at the very bottom center below the cooling coils. Use hot (but not boiling) water and a turkey baster to flush it out until water runs through it. (it will go into the defrost drain pan, where it will evaporate)
This will prevent water from comming out the freezer door and leaking onto your floor and running down your copper pipe to the basement.
