KitchenAid model KSC24C8EYY02. May be similar to Whirlpool and Amana models. A plastic water tube with a built-in elbow cracked and leaked each time the water dispenser was used. This video shows the failed OEM part, removal of the part, searching for a replacement, and installing the new tube. The tube is 5/16-inch outside diameter and about 25-inches long. OEM parts seem over-priced so I ended up using tubing from Home Depot, that seems to have worked well, and I reused one end of the OEM tube and turned it into an elbow with a heat gun.
Same fridge, different leak: youtube.com/watch?v=at8X72vTNxo
