Leaking from Dispenser - Bottom Freezer Refrigerator
Possible Solution
Was the glass held under the dispenser long enough?
A few drops of water will be dispensed after the dispenser lever is released. Hold the glass under the dispenser for 2 to 3 seconds after releasing the dispenser lever.
Was the water filter recently replaced?
If the water filter was just replaced or installed, ensure the filter was installed correctly. If the water filter is not seated properly, it can cause no or low ice production, water not dispensing properly, or potentially leaking from the filter area. Try removing the water filter and re-installing it.

Is the dispenser drip tray full?
There is an insert in the dispenser drip tray. The insert can be removed from the drip tray and carried to the sink to empty or clean. If the dispenser tray is full of water, it may leak or spill down the front of the refrigerator.
To remove the drip tray, push down on the rear edge of the insert to tilt up the front edge and pull the dispenser tray out.
Are there residual ice shavings in the ice chute?
Check the ice chute for ice shavings and pieces. Ice shavings and pieces that get caught in the chute will eventually start to melt, and some dripping could occur if using crushed ice; clear the ice chute by dispensing 8-10 ice cubes after dispensing crushed ice to prevent ice shaving buildup.
Was the water filter flushed?
