Assuming that it's not a leak in the ice-maker or cold water dispenser... Water condenses inside a refrigerator and on the freezer coils. When that water is removed (self defrosting freezers) it drains down a tube and to a tray at the bottom of the refrigerator. The HOPE is that the water in the tray evaporates, but sometimes, especially if you live in a very humid area, the condensate will build up faster than it will evaporate from the tray.

Why does your refridgerator leak water?

it shouldn't leak water as though its a normal thing get it fixed. but to answer the question, a fridge uses water to cool the area it surrounds, much like how a radiator uses water to heat up the area its sitting in <><><> The supply line to an icemaker can leak, and refrigerators release water from auto defrost into a pan under the fridge. This small amount of water usually evaporates, but if the pan is cracked or missing, will leak onto the floor. A fridge does not use water to cool the area it surrounds- it uses a freon compound to transfer heat from inside to the outside.


Is it okay to run the refrigerator if the house water has been turned off?

The majority of refrigerators, yes. These refrigerators only need electricity to run, not water. However some modern refrigerators do have a water line connected to them and constantly cycle fresh water, the water is near-frozen then fed into the refrigerator via vents as condensation. These refrigerators are usually huge, however, and are mostly used for commercial purposes, though some can be purchased for the home. You are fine as long as you don't have one of these huge commercial refrigerators.
