How can I distinguish a dispenser spill from defrost-related water?

Record when water appears and where the visible trail begins. Water after a glass is filled is a different pattern from a puddle appearing while nobody uses the dispenser.

What the observation tells you

A reservoir, drip tray or user-removable seal may have its own care instructions. Do not assume that a floor puddle means the freezer drain is blocked. Conversely, a nearby dispenser should not be blamed without observing the relationship.

A useful next step

Check only the permitted accessible dispenser parts and preserve the timing information. Stop use of a leaking feature and obtain assessment if the source remains uncertain.

Manuals and supporting guidance

Model-specific instructions take priority. These references support the practical principles discussed here; they do not diagnose your appliance.
