Refrigerator leaking from top

[CYbold]

My Samsung RF28HFEDBSR/AA has started leaking from the top of the fridge.  The leak is at the Front, LH corner of fridge (above ice maker).  It appears water is coming up through a hole for the harness; then leaks down the outside of the fridge.  Has anyone seen a problem like this, or know what might be causing it?

I've had so many problems with this fridge.  The ice maker stopped working several years ago; I just replaced it one year ago.

It could be a few different reasons but most common is a clogged Defrost Drain

 water from the defrost cycle should drain properly. A blockage 

food particles, ice prevents this, causing water to back up and find alternative escape routes, including the harness hole.

Here is a Solution

locate the drain usually at the back of the refrigerator or near the bottom.

 Clean the drain use a mixture of hot water and baking soda to flush it out. You might need a thin wire or a specialized drain cleaner tool.

 Or it could be a Water Inlet Valve Leak the valve that controls water flow to the ice maker and water dispenser can malfunction, causing leaks here is a solution      Check the valve Look for signs of damage, cracks, or excessive wear. Replace the valve If necessary it could also be a water Filter Housing Issue a loose or damaged water filter housing can allow water to escape. Here is a solution
