Water leaking into fridge, but no idea how.

No water hooked up to Fridge. This is a unit with accessible  water hook ups but no line attached.

Correct, as our friend Quick has pointed out you likely have a clogged evaporator drain. Your unit defrosts itself a couple times a day and creates water doing so, if the drain freezes the water can not go down the drain so it flows into your refrigerator, via air vents.

Thanks, I think that's it.

Point of information for you if it turns out your defrost drain is clear and your scratching your head I have a little story of a job I had gone to when I first started.      I had a call that there was water in the bottom of the fridge below the crisper draws and on the top shelf in the back.  I emptied out the top of the fridge and could see the water on the top shelf in the back.   I thought it was definitely  a frozen drain line.  It turned out not to be a frozen drain line and it was draining fine in the defrost cycle.  I'm scratching my head like Oh man !  where is this water coming from . I started to put things back into the fridge and then when I picked up the brita filtered water container that I placed on the counter from the fridge, there was water all on the counter top under the water container.   Apparently there was a tiny crack in the container which was not leaking when you picked it up.  It only leaked when it was placed down on a surface.  Go figure.  After that I always checked the items in the fridge first for possible leaks.    Just something for you to consider when you go to a leaking fridge call.

Had a call for a washer leaking, but not every time it ran. Ran it and looked all over for the leak. Could not see any signs of a leak in the cabinet. If I shined my light just right I could see the old water trace on the floor. I followed it behind the dryer to the pantry. Found an unopened water jug that was starting to collapse. It was not leaking at the time. The customer made a good observation. It only leaked depending on what the barometric pressure was since it was still sealed.
