I have an old Amana frost free refrigerator in my garage I use for cold storage. the ice maker is not hooked up and water is now dripping out of the left side of the door. What should I check for first?

Does it have a water dispenser in the door?

Put your model number in here and look for the schematics.

Check for a clogged (or frozen closed) drain at the bottom in the freezer
compartment.

He said the ice maker wasn't hookrd up , which I took to mean that the
water supply was not hooked up . That leaves the condensate drain/evap
coil/defrost system as the only possible source . Drain line might be iced ,
might have that algae that forms a gel .

Agree. Wasn't thinking about a clogged drain or frozen line.

The defrost drain may be stopped up. Is it a side by side refrigerator? Freezer to the left and refrigerator section to the right? (・_・ヾ

Just wondering if you fixed the problem, and if so was that what was the
cause.

Yes after talking to an old tech rep. He told me that having the refrigerator
in the garage during this long cold winter and the low temp. in my garage the water did not have enough time to evaporate.
