My refrigerator keeps leaking occasionally (possibly from the water line)?
I don't know how to or honestly even have a desire to set up my freezer to automatically make ice. I'm not sure if the problem is coming from the water line to the freezer or not, but I also have a frozen pool of water at the bottom of my freezer. The refrigerator is a side by side.
What do you think my problem is, and if it's my water line, how do I stop it from leaking inside the freezer and underneath my refrigerator on the floor?
Even if you don't know the answer to this question, I'd still appreciate information on how to plug the water line if that's safe. Thanks!

look on the back and see if there is a clear tube that comes from the bottom up to the ice maker,make sure it's secure, open your freezer and turn the icemaker off and unplug it if possible, remove the ice maker from the freezer and look close and see if there is any thing where the water enters the ice maker that is froze or clogged.then look in the freezer where the water comes out and into the ice maker.there should be a soft white tube,is it full of ice.the tube should slide out,clean it with hot water and dry.look up inside and make dure there is no more ice that is obstructing the water.you will want to remove the pool of frozen water and dry it out.there is a valve that shuts the water off to the ice maker.follow the copper line that comes from the back at the bottom of the frig and it will lead you to the valve.i hope this helped you
