Some if not most refrigerators have a small pan underneath that catch small amounts of water and hold it until it dries up, is it possible the pan was moved or damaged? I have a Maytag fridge also, and the pan sits in a small cradle right against the bottom of the unit. It can be seen from front when the lower grill is removed.
