Possible water valve leaking thru

The water valve is normally situated at the bottom rear of the fridge. Follow the water line/ hose to the inside of the fridge at the back compartment and you will find it. With the water AND the power unplugged / turned off, you can remove the water hose fittings and there is usually only 2 wires to the valve.. The water valve itself should only be mounted with a couple of screws or on a bracket. refit everything with the new valve. Slowly turn the water back on first and make sure there are no leaks.

You can have a couple of things causing this. First do you see flakes in the ice cubes? Yes replace the icemaker. No then I would remove the cover off the icemaker (pry on the corners and pull) Check to see if the motor gears is rusty. If yes then its causing the motor to run slow and overfillilg the icemaker. You can also check to make sure the fill tube is pointing downward in the water cup of the icemaker. If that looks goo then it cold be the matter of replaceing the faceplate of the icemaker. That would replace the switch, motor and gears.

There is also a screw on the bottom of the icemaker. remoce it also.

After the cleaning cycle, if you drained the tank to get rid of the cleaning/descaling solution, you will have to refill the machine for the initial start. The normal freeze/ harvest cycle will normally fill the unit after the initial start. I have seen several ice makers with this same initial problem. If this is not the case and your reservoir is full of water, then check water supply to make sure water will flow all the way into the reservoir. Sometimes the makeup water solenoid fails and need replaced. So if cleaning cycle works and fills, solenoid operated water valve is not the problem. If would mean some electric component is not working. The on/off/clean switch not sending on signal. The board, which is located under the top panel of the cabinet, may have a bad contact on the board. Another possibility is the water level sensor may not be in contact with the water. Most units will not start if the water sensor is not in contact with the water level. It normally looks like a metal probe and has a wire connecting to it to the control board. Any parts can be found by taking your model number to Searspartsdirect.com and can be ordered using a credit card and be delivered to your home. Hope this helps

Make sure normal drain line (located under the ice) is not clogged. Check gaskets and seals. Also make sure everyone who uses it closes the door completely and does not leave it cracked open. And make sure no one has screwed any thing into it and punctured through it. A screw alone will not keep the water in.

What's the make and model. ..maybe mechanical

Sounds like you could be over or under charged

Most door gaskets can bought from a roll at appliance parts dealers, or: www.appliancepartsonline.net

There is not an adjustment. The ice maker dump arm has a cam on it that engages the water fill switch. switch is bad or ice maker motor has a bad spot in it .

Turn off the machine if water is still running then unplug the machine. If the water is still running then check water presser from water supply to make sure it is under 80 psi before replacing water inlet valve.

Replace water inlet valve.

If you have water and power to unit and no kinks in water line and water filter is not clogged then you need to call company you bought it from the machine is under warranty and repairs will be no cost to you.
