If the leak is coming out in the front, right underneath the freezer door, you most likely have a clogged (frozen) defrost drain. It is a design problem. The only way to fix it permently is to: first defrost your refrigerator for 24 hours with the doors open. Unplug open doors and just leave it for 24 hours. Then instal this part. #W10619951 Step by step video included. See link below:
