First check the water inlet tap
if the water from the tap does not has moulds then your refrigerator has moulds in the water line
for this you need to dispense water regularly untill the moulds gets lesser and lesser

also observe if that mould is really a mould or something is coming off your refrigerator dispenser
could be silica from previous filter
cannot confirm unless you observe the mould.

Thanks

    for this fridge the water dispenser hose is connected from the bottom so just remove the panel underneath the fridge door then press the water dispensing bottom and observe where the leak is from.
    You will see it the hose is damaged or eaten by rats or fallen off
    anything is possible here

It look like the hose may have fallen off. Remove the panel. It might be a simple fix.

Your water line located there is broken. It's plastic tubing.

SOURCE: water dispenser inside fridge does not dispense water

Are the water inlet / outlet correctly fitted onto the filter ??
Sounds silly - but very easy mistake seen several times.
Is the water supply for the filter turned on . . remove hoses from filter to verify. - YOU WILL GET WET.

SOURCE: my ge fridge model TBX18k lg has water build

Remove the food from the freezer and then remove the rear freezer wall . Should be 2-4 screws and maybe a clip on each side on the top vent . Once the panel is removed , useing a hairdryer , defrost the tray below the coils until you can see the drain hole . Defrost the drain hole until water begins to flow into the hole . Use a small hose inserted into the hole and blow out any debris which has accumulated . You can also use hot water to help defrost the drain hole . Once completed , reinstaal the panel and of course , food .

SOURCE: water dispenser line leaking at bottom of freezer

if you have enough room left you can just cut out the hole and go to any hardware store and pick up a water line coupler and repair it....if it is too short or broke up inside the door then you need to remove the water/ice dispenser and pull the line through and run the new one down the track.

Why does kenmore side by side model 596.50004100 leak water from bottom?

1. there is a condensation pan under refrigerators, pull front bottom grill off & you should see pan. if pan is full it will overflow, pull forward to remove & empty. also check to see if something spilled in bottom of fridge & is running into drain hole into pan. most of the time condensation is so slow that it will evaporate before the pan fills up, but I've had them fill up on me in the past, not too often though.

2. if fridge is equipped with ice maker & clod water dispenser, connections on bottom back side could be leaking ( not likely, unless they have been disturbed).

there is not much else that it could be unless it is not the fridge & is coming from some where else & running under the fridge.

This can be pulled out of the door and replaced with new tubing.You may need to remove the front dispenser panel in order to get the tubing out of the dispenser.

Once you do that then you can pull the remove the tubing and replace it with new line.

Fridge leaking water supply off

The water is defrosted frost from the cold coils. Look for ice at the bottom of the freezer at the back wall. Carefully remove back panel. Most often the problem is that the drain hole to the pan underneath the fridge is blocked. and then it gets further blocked with ice as defrosted water cannot drain away. Clear carefully with a hairdryer, Clean drain hole with hot water and a turkey baster. Shoot water through to the pan below. If ice comes back in a few weeks you need to troubleshoot defrost heater circuit. Most common bad parts in order are defrost thermostat, defrost timer, fuses in defrost circuit which don't reset.

Water is not dispensed when the dispensor is activated. Only a clicking noise under the fridge can be heard. model srd2555w

When you try the water dispenser you should hear the water inlet valve which is on the back where the water supply comes in. If you do hear it then Your water line could be frozen in the door. You can disconnect the line under the unit before it goes into the door at the bottom hinge. Push the dispenser button and see if it comes out there. If it does leave the door open till it thaws.
If you don't hear the valve working the dispenser switch is bad.

Water is leaking from the bottom in the front left side of side by side maytag. water line is ok not leaking. can't see where it is coming from.

the water for the dispenser (ice/water dispenser in the freezer door) comes from under the frige then up thru the bottom hinge of the freezer door .. it then goes inside the door up to the dispenser .. its a plastic hose and it has to twist near the hinge each time the door is opened .. thats where it usually breaks or develops a pin hole leak .. you can replace the whole hose or just the damaged section if that easier ... since the bottom freezer.hinge where that hose comes up thru, is at the position of your leak then i suspect thats your trouble ... ..also check the condensate pan to make sure its not full .. thats a flat pan under the fridge ..you can usually get acess to it by removing the front kick panel at the bottom of the frige .. if thats full then look for a door seal leak (damaged rubber seal) ... a broken seal or open door will allow moisture to condense inside the machine ..that runs down into the condensate pan where it normally evaporates .. but a problem (like open door) will fill it up to overflow in time ....

Leak from bottom of fridge

Two things might be happening. One is the line to the fridge is leaking, this line come thru the floor or wall to the bottom and hooks up to a water valve, it may just need tightening. The other problem is you will have a hose that runs from the filter down in behind the crisper drawers to the bottom and coils up here to hold water for cold use. it then runs thru the bottom pan out to the front, to the bottom door hinge on the freezer side up the door to the dispencer. Check along the hose for a pin hole look at the bottom hinge area first, things bump into it here and can damage the plastic cover.

Creaking Sound when Opening Door of GE Profile PTS22LHSCC Refrigerator

My GE side by side does the same thing. It's this creaky squeaky sound whenever I open either door, I oiled the hinges on top and bottom and it went away for a couple days but is back. I like the fridge otherwise but it sounds like a cheap piece of junk.

Water leaking underneath refrigerator/water freezing in bottom of freezer

I'm dealing with the same problem right now with the same refrigerator. The cold water tank (for the front dispenser) has a hole in it that leaks every time someone dispenses water from the front door. You will find the water tank behind the top slide-out drawer in the fridge. The leaked water flows down one of the water tubes through a hole in the bottom of the fridge and onto the floor. I'll bet you have the same problem. Good Luck.
