Frigidiare side by side model FRS6HR35KW1. Water is leaking from underneath my refrigerator onto the floor. I checked the water supply line hose from the house's plumbing to where the hose connects to the refrigerator in the back and found no leak. The refrigerator was installed today.

Investigation needed
There is no water leaking in the freezer section.
I checked the water supply line hose from the house's plumbing to where the hose connects to the refrigerator in the back and found no leak.
The only other (but much more common) place for water to originate is defrost water that occurs every time the fridge goes into defrost. The most common cause of that water going where it shouldn't is a plugged defrost water drain in the freezer compartment, leading to ice there and then usually leaking out the door. Defrost water on the floor might also come from a leak in the drain tube from the bottom of the cabinet to the drain pan under the fridge (although pretty rare) or the drain pan itself cracked, just out of place or overflowing.
In the end actual investigation will be needed to isolate the origin of the leak before we'll be able to suggest how to correct it.
BTW. Don't put off searching for such a leak too long as damage could be done to your flooring.
