Ever since our move, the fridge "leaks" just a hair through the icemaker/water dispenser. Just enough so we need to keep a dish rag in the tray over the weekend. Not much. Just enough for my wife to constantly remind me it still needs fixed...

It didn't leak prior to moving so I assume the issue would be from the doors not aligning properly. But they lined up where they were before judging by the seal witness marks. If you look up the chute, you can see wher eit mainly appears to be condensation running down the flap (insert punch line here). Does not seem to be an actual water supply leak.

Google and Youtube are of no help going off the model number.

Any of you tech geeks ( @Ron, @shawn, @Fabrik8, @rockcity ) have any ideas?

What brand fridge? Our Samsung did that a few months ago. Warranty repair guy came out and replaced some seal around the ice tray. It just started doing it again...
 
Higher water pressure at new place able to push past a not so perfect valve seal?


We had to replace valve on ours a couple years ago. Easy fix.

I've noticed on our Frigidaire French door with freezer on bottom, if you are using crushed ice a lot, the residual ice on the chute for the ice has enough ice sticking to the sides that it more than fills the drip tray. We have a small container to catch it when it melts.

Not happy with the bottom freezer sealing either (on a side note). When we get ice out of the second ice maker some falls out when pulling the tray out. Then the ice that has fallen gets stuck in the back not allowing the drawer to close all the way and most don't notice the gap at at the seal.

Old house on city water. WTH that pressure was. New house on well with a 40/60 pressure switch
 
Nothing really helpful to add but our Frigidaire does the same shit seems like it’s over freezing and excess ice melts and drips into fridge itself I’ve researched and not found anything besides seals bad to ice maker etc but I’ve turned water off to ice maker and still issue has something to do with ice in freezer I believe!? I’m just gonna go buy a new slightly bigger one at the end of year during Black Friday probably! Lol bc I’m a cheap ass
 
Is the ice maker over filling? Maybe it's not level? Who knows? I did just recently lean more about ice makers than I ever cared to know. Mine quit working and I figured out why...then realized it was cheaper to replace the whole damn thing.
 
It was fine until the doors were removed for the move. Makes me think it is an alignmentn issue or something. But the doors seem to be where they were before.
 
Also, you spelled "refrigerator" wrong in the title :D
