[quote=NicMM]This is a two door (side-by-side) refrig. The water is dripping from the ice maker. I dont think it is caused by parts at the bottom.

There’s not much to an ice maker. Just based on what you described, I would suspect a leak between the solenoid valve (part at the bottom of the fridge that the water supply plugs into and the ice maker itself. It’s also very possible that the solenoid valve itself is leaking.

The valves aren’t very expensive.

For example:

Do you have the model number and make of the fridge? Usually there’s a sticker on the inside door jamb. Chances are, if you have this problem, someone else on the internet does too.
