First off, let me say I HATE this refrigerator, but I need to keep it working until we sell the house.
We noticed tonight that there is a small amount of water that is leaking from the front of fridge. I opened up the small plastic grate at the bottom of the fridge (this model is a built-in) and it appears that the water is coming from a pan underneath of the fridge that is full. I couldn't see any additional water dripping/flowing into the pan, but could see a reflection off the water's surface that appeared to be condensation on the surface above the pan. While soaking up some of the water I noticed there were multiple warms spots around what little of the pan I can access.
Full disclosure, about a month ago the unit was making a high pitched sound for most of the day until you opened the freezer door. After a day or so, it stopped.
I presume the two are connected, and my assumption is some sort of evaporator fan is malfunctioning since I don't hear the standard fan sound when closing the freezer door. However, I was only looking at the unit for 15 or so minutes before I determined I needed to start researching the issue, so the time period is short.
I am pretty good at self repairing items like this, but I have found very little details on this model so I'm hoping that someone smarter than myself can shed some light/direction. TIA.
