Top-freezer refrigerators are the simplest platform GE builds, and that makes most repairs inexpensive relative to the appliance. The single evaporator sits behind the freezer rear panel and feeds the fresh-food section through a duct, so airflow problems affect the lower compartment first.
Water dripping inside usually traces to the defrost drain, which can freeze at its trough. A safe owner step is to empty the freezer and let the unit stand switched off with the doors open for several hours; if the fault returns, the heater and thermostat need testing with the power disconnected.
