Our refrigerator still works fine but it is about 12 years old. Last week I cleaned the coils and afterwards saw water running out. The clear plastic tube that goes in the icemaker was loose - so I fixed it (just pushed it back up there) and it worked fine....no leak. Early today I went in and saw a pool of water in front of the refrig....a low place in the tile. Guess it had run down and pooled ... and then dried up under the refrig. Cleaned it up and watched. This PM I saw some more water. Moved the refrig. out from the wall and there is a small puddle under there ... cannot tell where it is coming from. The plastic tube is still up where it belongs. The pan that holds water from defrost has a small amount of dirty water. The water on the floor is clean. Have run my hand all along the copper pipe from wall to where it goes into refrig. and don't feel anything.
Does anybody have any idea? We have the refrig. out from wall with newspaper on the floor under the copper pipe to see if we can tell "where" ...
At what point does it pay to just get new refrigerator and not bother to fix old one? Want to be sure the leak is from the refrig. but can't think what else it could be ... too far from dishwasher I think.
