GE refrigerator ice maker leaking

Refrigerator & Freezer Repair

I have problem with water leaking from the very top of the fridge. It seems when the ice maker has a water demand and the water to it turns on, there is a leak in both sides of the fridge. The water is freezing on the freezer side (of course) and cascading all the way down to the bottom. On the fridge side, it’s leaking a small amount through the upper area where the controls are, and eventually leaking out onto the floor. The leak is relatively slow, due to only happening when the valve to the ice maker is opened. It must be something past the ice maker valve, and I’ll be taking it apart tonight to isolate the problem.

Anything I’m missing, or any suggestions on the repair? I can post more once I get in there to diagnose it.

It appears the tube that supplies water to the ice maker had a chunk of ice blocking it, and when the water turned on, it pushed the supply tube out of it’s fitting and water cascaded down the inside of the freezer. About 3 gallons of ice removed, and turned the freezer temp up a bit to try to prevent this in the future.
