Water Inlet Valve
This valve controls the flow of water to both the dispenser and the ice maker. If the solenoid responsible for the ice maker fill fails to seat correctly or sticks open, it will overfill the ice tray, causing water to run down the inside of the freezer door and leak out the bottom. This matches the symptom of leaking specifically during or after ice production cycles.

Ice Maker Assembly
The WRS588 series ice makers are prone to developing hairline cracks in the plastic mold or tray. When the water valve cycles to fill the tray, water leaks through these cracks before it can freeze, leading to water dripping from the ice maker housing and down through the freezer door assembly.

Freezer Door Wiring Harness (Repair)
As noted in Source 5, the wire bundle at the bottom freezer hinge is a known pinch point. While usually causing a 'no ice' condition, frayed wires can cause intermittent electrical shorts that signal the water inlet valve to remain open longer than the timed 7-second fill, resulting in overflow and subsequent leaking.
