The short answer
This page covers a single model, so every unit in service is the same machine. That is why, on the ASD models, this complaint comes back to a gasket letting warm, damp air in before anything else — and why the order below departs from the brand-generic one.
What you observe
- Ice growing low on the freezer back wall — Building upward from the trough rather than as a frost sheet across the whole panel.
- A wet patch at the back, behind the cabinet — Usually found only when the cabinet is pulled out for something else.
- NEAR MISS — a slow drip from the water dispenser tray — A dispenser that drips after each use is a dispenser question, not a leak in the cabinet.
Causes, most likely first on the ASD line
- A gasket letting warm, damp air in — Ranked first here — it produces water as condensation rather than as a leak, and it is confirmed by a paper test in a minute.
- An ice maker overfilling on each cycle — Second here — it leaves a trail rather than a pool, and the trail freezes where it lands.
- A cabinet tilted so meltwater runs the wrong way — Third here — it turns a drain that would otherwise cope into one that does not, and it is free to correct.
- Body: With one model in scope there is no spread of builds to hedge against, so a design-inherent fault ranks above an age-related one and the list below says so plainly. The visible effect is that an ice maker overfilling on each cycle takes a place that a cabinet tilted so meltwater runs the wrong way would otherwise hold.
Check in this order, and why
- Shut a sheet of paper in the door at several points and pull it out — Anywhere it slides free without drag is a gap, and moist room air is going through it every hour of the day.
- Look for an ice ledge growing under the ice maker or down the back of the bin — Spill that freezes on the way down is the signature of an overfill.
- Check the cabinet sits slightly back on its feet, not forward — Doors that swing open on their own are the giveaway that it is leaning the wrong way.
- Body: One model means one layout, so the order below is the order of the panels you would open, and there is no second build to hedge against. The checks below are in the same order as the causes above them, so a clean result sends you one step further down rather than back to the top.
Before you open anything
Safety
Unplug the appliance or switch off its breaker before removing any panel — a capacitor can hold a charge after the power is off. Water and an electrical appliance are a bad pair: dry the floor before you pull the cabinet out, and never work on a wet floor with the unit plugged in. Shut the water supply off at its valve before touching any fitting, and do not clear a drain with a metal probe.

When to call a technician
Call when the water is coming from a fitting you cannot reach dry, when the drain will not clear with warm water, or when the interior floods again within a day of being cleared. Call at once if water is reaching wiring or a socket — that stops being a leak and becomes an electrical fault.
