Ice Maker Doesn't Turn Off
If your ice maker keeps making ice, even when it is full:
1Lift the bail wireto shut off the ice maker, and remove the ice bin. Then, using a screwdriver if necessary, remove the ice maker, clean it thoroughly, and then reinstall it.
2If the problem persists,consider removing and replace the entire ice maker and valve. With this type of problem, you can have it repaired, but it's often wiser and less expensive in the long run to replace the unit entirely.
Most likely the ice maker has maker has a sensor if its electric the eyes may have become covered over with water deposits that will need to be cleaned refer to the manual for instructions to do this
Check the bin arm spring you will have to disassemble the front of the ice maker to do this and check timer motor could be getting hung up. not a cleaning problem. or replace the complete head.
First , pour about 2/3 cup of water into the ice maker . If if freezes , and dumps , replace the water valve ( pt. # 4389177 ) . If it does not dump the cubes , replace the ice maker ( pt. # 4317943 ) .

The ice bucket is probably cracked we have had three that have all done the exact same thing all different name brands. Just order a new ice bucket. Good Luck and my advice is to purchase a extended warranty on these because its not a matter of if it will break its when. Edgestar lasted the longest it lasted 1yr and 7months.
