There is a joint in the water line just under the freezer door behind the condenser grill. It may be loose. You can also inspect some of the water line under there. Have someone get water while you're looking. Check for dripping from the lower hinge on freezer door.

Hi
I found the point of leak. It is in the hose going from the water intake underneath towards the front of the of the freezer. The hose was touhing the fins and friction and heat must have caiused the break.
How do I get to the cut? There is not enough flex to pull the hose out for easy access. Do I flip the unit or is there a technique to exchange the hose?
Please advise.
Thank you in advance

As stated in an early post there should be a joint just under the freezer door. If that's where your leaky line runs to, disconnect it there and then you should be able to pull it out from the inlet valve on the back. Turning the unit over can cause a whole other problem. I wouldn't do that.
