I'm not sure that makes sense Steph, because water contracts when it freezes or
is he thinking you're leaving the empty trays there and overfilling them in the
freezer compartment?

Well, mine - the water was collecting under the veggie drawers at the bottom of
the lower compartment and then when that was overfull, was leaking out onto the
floor. (so the water was draining into the fridge instead of down the drain
tubing) inside the walls of the fridge/.
The problem was a blockage in drain tubing. Had to remove the light mechanism,
on the ceiling of the lower compartment to get at the drain hole. There are (I
swear) 18 screws and I did not know which ones to remove and if I'd removed
them all potentiallly couldn't have gotteni it back together the right way.
Only 4 needed to be removed, but the right ones.

Then stuff something flexible but not harmful as far as possible. That didn't
work.
So then the guy said "we have to blow water through the tubing" - used a garden
hose attached to the kitchen tap with a sprayer (for power) to spray down into
the hosing. First it sprayed water back out at us and all over the kitchen.
After 2 more tries, we could hear the water finally going down into the drip
pan, where it's supposed to.
Then he had me "blow" once more, while he got on his knees and verified that it
was flowing properly and into the pan.
So it was a 2-person job - cost me $70 Cdn. (and he said it was probably a
small piece of styrofoam, because we found another piece that was contributing
to the problem and it was styrofoam that the manufacturer should have removed
during assembly, but since it's more than the "one year warranty", I had to pay
for it.

Is your drip pan overflowing?
Is there a drain hole in the freezer compartment? Does it look blocked?
Is the drip pan under the bottom of the fridge or under the freezer
compartment?

The guy had told me to pull the plug, put the food somewhere cold, open the
doors and let it defrost for 4 hours. If you can locate the drain tubing,
blowdry it on "warm" as far along as you can, in case there's ice /garbage
blocking it.
When that didn't work, a friend said do the same but for 48 hours..
When that didn't work, I had to call a service man, tired of mopping...didn't
know which screws to remove and of course, nobody told me about the "garden
hose " trick.

Assuming the pool is water.. is it a "self-defrosting" fridge? In some
of these the water comes out of a pipe on to the top of the compressor
assembly, so that it can evaporate away. If this gets blocked, or the
top has a gap in its rim, the water falls on the floor.

If it isn't that, try not filling the ice tray for a few days and see if
that makes any difference.

Does it have a water-cooler with a permanent water supply? That has many
places to leak from!
