Default Ice & Water making Fridge Leaking at water spout.

That's typically a sign that gunk is stuck in the solenoid valve and
preventing a good seal on close. Sometimes you can disassemble the
valve and clean it out. But most of the time, the gunk gets embedded
in the rubber and makes a permanent indentation.

Also, it's never a good idea to run RO water to the fridge. It sounds
good in theory, but not in practice. RO water leaches minerals out of
the holding tank in the fridge (at least that's what tech support told
me).

We have a Whirlpool Gold fridge, that comes with ice maker and water
spout. I connected RO water system a month ago as the water
supply. And just yesterday the water spout at the dispenser station
started leaking. It's not leaking anywhere else. Any idea what
could be causing this? And is it an easy fix? thank.

p.s. the dripping has slowed down by 50% the second day.
