Jadeblue I came up with this part using your model number. Part Detail

It's the trough the water drips to and the drain hole that gets stopped up.

ok, well i talked to my dad and he said there should be something inside the fridge part behind the lite, so i looked and i did find on the back wall of the fridge rite at the top a maybe 1 inch plastic piece that i took off and there is a drain hose. So i am going to dry to blow air thru it and see if that works. But i still don't know where that hose comes out

The mystery continues. OK Woodchuck - but where is that trough?

I did find where the water is coming from. In the back of the refrigerator section at the top is a plastic box with the dials on it. For freezer and refrig. Pulled that cover off and behind it is another box of metal and styrofoam. There is a tube that runs behind this that I can only partially see. On stop of the styrofoam is a small layer of ice.

That ice slowly melts and drips into the refrigerator. Hmmmmm -

Is that tube frozen (and where does that tube come from?) or is it just melting ice? And why is there ice in the refrigerator?

Well, THAT was interesting. Ended up taking my entire refrigerator apart!

Took off the back panel of the freezer and found a drip tray. Found a hole in that.

Turned the refrig around - fun - and found a plastic tube there. So I pulled the tube apart and cleaned out the head of it and then flushed it with water and a Qtip. Gunk came out. Then took the long hose that goes all the way down the refrig and under it and blow into it. Some gunk popped out! So I think I unclogged that hose.

Hoping that this solves it - we'll see.

At the least I got to clean all the junk under my refrigerator!
