Plus, I looked online for the model and could not find anything that discussed about the drip pan, and seems that some newer models (not sure if its' this one) has an attached drip pan that you cannot remove without unscrewing it, etc. So -- I guess turning off the water is my best option right now, because as I understand it, simply turning off the ice maker will not necessarily do the job. thanks for your support, much appreciated.

OK, now that you mention it, and since I'm in an apartment (condo), would shutting off the water valve under the sink probably do it?

that all depends *where* the leak is coming from. If it's in the line itself, then it will continue to leak no matter what position the icemaker arm is in.
Usually, if you follow the water line at the back of the refrigerator, you should find where the line is tapped into a copper pipe (often in the basement). At the
tap, there should be a small cutoff that will completely cut off the water supply going to the refrigerator. That's your best bet.

I found a water leak on the floor and it seems to be from the icemaker. Unfortunately, we are going away for a few weeks starting tomorrow, and cannot call in a plumber. If I turn OFF the icemaker (in other words, put it in the UP position so it does not make ice), would that temporarily solve the problem so that if it is in conjunction with the icemaker that will stop the passage of water? OR -- better yet -- should I shut the valve that leads to the icemaker, but I don't know which valve it is. Help, please.
