My GUESS here is going to be YOUR FLAPPER door is not closing properly...
99 times out of 100 it is a PIECE of ICE stuck in the chute holding the ICE-DOOR from closing and ALLOWING WARM room air into the ICE BIN... causing thaw... water... sticky cubes... water flow
( inside & outside the FREEZER.. AND LOTS of other ISSUES ).
Check the ice-chute-door:
clear, clean & make sure it closes
ELSE: replace it!!
Just my thoughts!
Happy hunting
If it keeps filling and overflowing you have a bad water valve on the back of the fridge.the part number is WR57X10027 and the valve is around 75 dollars.first thing lift the arm or shut off the ice maker so it won't leak anymore,you're missing a few letters off of the model number so when you call your parts store give them the full model number,open the fridge door,look up on the right hand side wall up near the ceiling and give them the model number to make sure you get the correct valve,shut off the water supply to the fridge,then have the new valve next to the old valve when you remove a water line from the old valve just connect it to the new valve,do this until everything is changed out and the new valve is in place,turn on the water supply and you can check the ice maker to make sure it doesn't overflow.you can manually start the ice maker by grabbing the plastic arms of the ice maker and pull them forwards slowly until the arms start to advance on their own,you'll hear the water valve fill the ice maker and then you can watch it fill to see if the water is filling it correctly and i'm sure you'll be fine with the new water valve installed
http://fixitnow.com/wp/2009/12/27/manual... copy and paste,it will show you how to advance the ice maker,also there should be a screw on the ice maker that you can turn to let more water fill into the ice maker or to let less water into the ice maker,if you didn't touch this then most likely your problem is the water valve but you can check this first,if it doesn't help change out the water valve.
