What causes a refrigerator to leak on the floor? We've disconnected the ice maker and water dispenser, but it still leaks.

Check out the doors of the refrigerator. If they are faulty too much warm humid air gets into the refrigerator itself. When this air is cooled by the refrigerator water condenses out of this air and leaks out of the refrigerator. In this case you need new seals. This will also cause your refrigerator to run longer than usual and waste power.
If the leak is not from inside the refrigerator but from underneath it could be another problem. Frost free refrigerators usually have a water tray underneath to collect water from the automatic defrosting of the refrigerator every day (if they did not automatically defrost you would have a frosted up freezer section like used to happen with older type refrigerators). These trays have a small heater bar in them to evaporate the water to save you emptying it. If this heater breaks down the water does not evaporate and just overflows on to the floor.
I would say you have one of these two problems.
But in some automatically defrosted models, water from the melting frost flows out a drain in the floor of the refrigerator and into a pan, where it evaporates. If the water line to the drain is clogged, water will freeze in your freezer and will start leaking out of refrigerator or in your refrigerator part.
Less often the reason could be that food particles can be carried along, clogging the drain. In this case just push any accumulations through to the drain pan below. Most often the drain will freeze. To unfreeze it you need to unfreeze the freezer part, put hot water in drain /not to much to make mess/.
Then in few minutes take the water back. Do it again until water goes freely true the drain. Dry everything out and plug it in.

Unplug the fridge while messing around underneath. You pull off the toe-kick vent and vacuum it to keep air flowing. You should also vacuum or brush the dusty coils under the fridge to help air flow. Pull the pan out and clean it too. Make sure you put it back in place level.
If you live in an area of high humidity, check for a switch inside the fridge where you can set it to not try and dehumidify the room air. May be too much for your fridge to handle.
