Default Refrigerator leaves water on the floor

Look at the bottoms of the inner compartments. Look for water inside
the fridge and freezer. Let us know what you find.

Also, open the lower compartment, remove the decorative grille (pulls
out gently). Lay on the floor, look in with a flash light, and let us
know what you see.

Water on the floor comes from one of many different reasons, you'll
need to do some investigating.

A friend with a 2 year old big Sears refrigerator/freezer, freezer
drawer on the bottom, has a small amount of water on the ceramic tile
floor.

I said he should turn the water off to the ice maker and see if the
water stops. It has a saddle-valve easily reachable in the basement.
I said to tighten it "firmly" but not too tight. Now I think firmly
could be heard as firmer than it should be. A better word?

*He* wants to pull the fridge away from the wall to look. It has
wheels, but they don't touch the floor and he thinks you have to tip
it back to get the wheels to lower down. Could that be true?

In addition, the fridge is only 3 inches from the wall and he can't
tip it enough.

Plus it's in the corner, with little extra width, no place to grab on,
and no one can pull it out! Maybe ropes attached to the two front
legs, that will pull and lift a bit too?

Suggestions?

Thank you.
