There is a "contraption" (NO IDEA what it is for) at the top, in the
middle, near the rear wall that might be the source of water getting into the
refrigerator? I had a container under it and some water accumulate
in it. The top shelf was wet before I put the container. However,
there is still a PROBLEM because I still have water at the bottom.
I put a wider container under that "contraption".
I tried to find out via a parts list on the web, what this "contraption"
is used for.
Thanks in advance, John
MORE INFO:
I found a YouTube video of someone modifying a similar "contraption"
to mine that causes water to drip on top shelf. I assume the water on
top shelf in my refrigerator migrates to the bottom.

Also, this "contraption" might be an "automatic defrost control"???
Again, Thanks in advance, John
You just need to unclog the drain in the bottom of the freezer. The
water will drip out into the tray under the fridge and be boiled off
by the condenser coils. That is how it works.
I did NOT see a drain in the freezer (after I removed the rack
type drawer).

Did you remove the back panel inside the freezer section ? That's where
the drain tray and tube are, and where it freezes up. BTDT.
It's item 10 in this parts diagram

Maybe I missed the model number but on my side by side Whirlpools (2)
it is right in the middle of the freezer compartment.
No matter what, it will be at the bottom of the sloped floor.
