Model # ET1FHTXMT04 Unit is about 10-12 years old but in great shape. A few months ago we started noticing water on top shelf of refrigerator. Figured out water was coming from small (about 3/4"x3/4" square holes on the top, near the back, of the refrigerator) Freezer consistently showed signs of frozen water on bottom of freezer.
Last weekend I took everything out of freezer. Removed ice maker. Removed cover that runs up the center of back of freezer and ducts air to fan. Removed back panel on freezer to expose the coils. No signs of anything leaking or any water running down from feeder to ice maker. Defrosted and cleaned freezer. Removed all ice built up on tray in very back that runs along base of coil.
The next day, water on shelf in refrigerator again. I can see where it comes from as the hole leads up to the freezer and on the freezer side is covered by the duct plate that runs up the center to the fan. Water is getting onto bottom of freezer and overflowing into holes. See picture of the inside of the refrigerator showing the hole on the top where the water is coming from into the cup we have to keep to prevent it from going everywhere.
Any ideas on what to try next or what to look for? I thought the feeder to the ice maker might be leaking but there is no signs of any water running down from it to the bottom of the freezer.
