SOURCE: KEEPS RUNNING WITH WATER RUNNING IN DISCHARGE TUBE

You need to adjust the stop on the fill valve. If it's got a float, you need to lower it so that the fill valve stops sooner. There's a metal clip on a rod that extends down from the fill valve. Pinch the clip and lower to lower the float. There's a plastic screw for minute adjustment. If you have a ballcock, there's a screw at the top that you'll need to loosen to lower the arm.

Kitchenaid model KSSC42QMS01 side-by-side refrigerator icemaker dripping

Sounds like it’s overfilling. Ice maker would need replacing if that’s the case. If it’s not overfilling and it’s dripping from fill tube, replace water valve.

Dish washer not draning all the water

Could be a couple of things:
The drain is partially blocked.
There is some debris in the bottom of the dishwasher causing this.
The motor is not reversing properly. Some dishwashers the motor reverses to pump the water out.
There is water flowling back down the discharge tube.
Sometimes there is a flow director in the discharge tube that keeps the water from the drain from flowing back down that tube and it is not working properly. Check all these things. To give an detailed and particular answer please provide the model number and brand of your dishwasher...

Water keeps filling up tub

hELLO THERE:
It's overfilling If your washer is overfilling, check these: Water-inlet valve Water-level switch Water-inlet valve A defect in the water-inlet valve may mean that it's no longer able to shut off completely when the electricity has been turned off to it. If this occurs, the valve may leak and drip water into the clothes tub. In time, the water may accumulate substantially. If this happens, you need to replace the valve. Water-level switch A defect--or an obstruction--in the water-level switch may mean that it can't tell the water to shut off. So the machine overflows. This switch senses the water level in the clothes tub. It's usually a diaphragm device with a small, clear tube attached between the switch and the bottom of the washer's outer tub. As the water level in the tub increases, the pressure on the air in the tube increases. When the pressure reaches a certain level, it activates the switch, shuts off the water, and signals the timer to begin the agitate cycle. You can either clear any obstruction in the tube or replace the water-level switch.

Water does not stop at the proper level. Keeps running and will overflow. Once it gets to the spin cycle is does not continue to run. If I let it fill, cut off the water at the valve and then refill it for...

Sounds like it could be the water level switch. An obstruction or defect in the water level switch will make it not tell the water to turn off, overfilling the machine. The switch senses the water level in the clothes tub. It is usually a diaphragm device with a small clear plastic tube between the switch and the bottom of the washers outer tub. As the water level comes up, the pressure on the air in the tube increases. When it reaches high enough, it trips the switch, shuts off the water, and signals the timer to begin the wash cycle. Clear away any obstruction in the tube or replace the switch. Hope this helps.

Wont stop filling

If when you press pause while filling and it keeps filling then you have a faulty valve. If the filling stops then valve is ok.
If you filling keeps going until overfilling the machine which is what i understand is your problem, then most likely that you have a small pinhole in your pressure tube.

Machine over filling even when set on min. simpson enduro 701

When the machine is overfilling , it means that there is a problem with the inlet valve (valve not closing) or with the water level switch, that should turn off the valve when water reaches level.

See the suggestion from It's overfilling at repairclinic:

It's overfilling If your washer is overfilling, check these:

Water-inlet valve
Water-level switch
