Figured this was the appropriate place for this since you guys pretty much can solve anything:

Woke up this morning to water across my kitchen floor coming from under my refrigerator. When I go back to my house later I'm going to pull it away from the wall to make sure everything is hooked up securely. A little bit of water last night but I thought it was a melted ice cube i had not noticed i dropped. Typical fridge with ice and water from the door. Drawer freezer underneath. Nothing leaking from inside the refrigerator or freezer. Is there a secret drip tray or anything like that I should be looking at before I call a plumber?

I have had this happen in my GE Profile fridge with French doors. Ice builds up underneath the meat drawer (on top of the freezer) and the drain line freezes over and the water has to go somewhere so it runs out the front right bottom corner of the fridge.

It requires me to pull everything out of the fridge, pull the back panel off and then run warm water into the frozen drain line until it clears. Unfortunately, it's going to freeze again so I end up getting the ice out of the bottom of the fridge every couple of weeks, but I can't do anything about the drain line. It's just a bad design.

Had that happen to me one time. It was second refrigerator located in the laundry room and we did not use the water dispenser in the door very often. Every once and a while, it would have water coming out from under the freg. I would pull it out every time and never could find a leak of any kind. It took almost two years before I finally correlated the leak with the getting water from the door dispenser. The water would not come out from under freg until I had left the room and I may not be back in the room for several hours and there was the water puddle. Keep in mind that we only got water out of that door, maybe once every couple three months. Finally put two and two together and took the back off the freg. and found a split plastic water line between the water valve and the door outlet, so it only leaked when you were running water out of the door. Very easy fix, but it drove nuts for a couple of years.

Most likely freezer drain line frozen. Easiest to unload it in to a big cooler and unplug it for a couple hours to completely thaw.

Sometimes it's much simpler than all these - if the water line is plastic check the fitting as it can get brittle and crack at the ferrule.

Thanks OP. We moved a few months ago, and brought our fridge (GE French Door upper, veggie drawer, freezer drawer). When we moved it, the ice maker no longer works, and we've had the same water leaking problem - have had a towel under it for a month or so now. I've got some things to try now.

You and I have exactly the same fridge.

What Prune said.

Ours did this and it was a plugged drain.

I had this same problem with my ice maker in my bar area. The junction valve was just old and shot. Drip, drip, drip leak ended up impacting about 40 sq ft of pergola.

Easy replacement, but aggravating warping.

Let me guess, your meat drawer won't open. I had to go in this morning with a butcher knife and try to pry some of the ice away so I could pull the drawer out to get the remainder of the ice out from the bottom of it.

Just replaced water inlet valve on our LG refrigerator, developed a hairline crack that caused water to leak out the bottom , common problem. If that is your issue it should be an easy fix

Check if it is level or not.

Same thing happened to my Whirlpool fridge except the line had a crimp in it that caused the split . Fixed it with a $6 union coupler to cut out the split. Drove us nuts for a couple of months too. Ice maker works better now too with the water flow a full strength.
