I have two Frigidaire refrigerators. The old one was bought in 1997 and is in the garage. Still works fine but the ice maker quit and the refrig. was so old we couldn't find a new one to fit or it cost so much it wasn't practical - but anyway, the one in the kitchen was 2008. A few days ago I came in the kitchen and found a puddle of water in front of the refrig. at the corner where the door opens. Opened door and water was puddled under the produce drawers. A lot of it. I cleaned it up -- looked at freezer. The ice maker was in the down position so it was still making ice and the box was full. I shoved the thingey up so it would stop making ice. Everything worked o.k. for a few days and then it happened again. The ice maker thingey was "on" so it was making ice and the box was about half full -- not full enough to automatically shut off. I shut it off and cleaned up.



Question: Is the ice maker going bad or is it related to the auto-defrost. The only water is under the produce drawers. Before I start calling repair service would like to know what kind of problem I have. My late DH used to decide these things and I am not very knowledgeable about electrical appliances. Thanks.


Disable the ice maker and then see what happens. If the water doesn't
recur after 10 says, turn the ice maker back on. If it happens again
within a day or two, then you know it's related to the ice maker.
