Why does water drip from light cover? - GE Profile PSW26P Stainless Steel Side by Side Refrigerator

Hello,
The water is from a blocked drain of the defrost, especially with the water off that's where its from. This tip i wrote will tell ya how to clear that drain http://www.fixya.com/support/r9991618-wrong_when_side_side_refrig_leaks_from

In some Refrigerators there is tray below the freezer section and there is a small hole in the tray. Water dripping from the tray enters a hole below in the back and goes out to a chamber.
If the hole is covered with dirt or if you place something in the line between these holes, water will drip and collect in the bottom of the refrigerator.

Leaking timing cover gasket or intake manifold gasket.

The water is coming from the defrost cycle in the top of unit . It drains down at the back of the light cover into a tube at the back. Get a phillips screwdriver and take it down to be sure tube is inserted properly. Get model number and go to.appliancepartspros.com to get a diagram.

model 680 and up. the warer valve is located in the upper part of the unit. follow the water. is very posible the water is coming from the top of the unit. TIP. remove the upper grill. and a white cover. behin the white cover is the water valve.

I suspect that is a leaky water valve. Turn off the water supply to the ice box and see. The cover just snaps on and off.

drain iced up

The drain is plugged and in defrost the water has to go somewhere. Try to blow out the drain with air. Or you might have to remove the evaporator cover to get hot water down the drain. First try to clear the line.

ouch sadly im sure it was pricy to have him out  so my suggestion would be to call him back and have him take off the price of what he charged you or have him fix it for no charge could be just need some plumbers putty around the faucet to stop a little water that may seep threw under the faucet good luck 

Remove the cover where the persons finger is and check to make sure that it is not covered with ice. Sounds like your machine iced oup and you will need to clean the coils and possibly replace the thermostat
