My Kenmore refrigerator ice maker overflows the cube tray when filling with water before the valve closes. The water valve shuts off completely. Any ideas? Thanks.

Ice maker overflowing:

  1. Normally when this happens, it has to do with the high water pressure in a home. This is easy to troubleshoot on your own and fix it.
  2. There are 3 different types of ice maker in refrigerators.
  3. I don't know your model number so I can't tell you exactly what to do.
  4. However, if you go here: www.lg.com/.../CT10000021-1339009084981-water-overfilling... - and select your model of ice maker.
  5. Click on the image of your ice maker and follow the directions given.
  6. If I knew the exact model of your ice maker I could of told you how to fix this one.

I just changed the valve on my Whirlpool gs6haxls03 fridge because the ice maker was not working. Now every time the drinking water paddle is pushed it dispenses water into the ice tray and overflows into the freezer.

If the valve was just changed it sound like there is an issue with the work that has been done. I think that one of the hoses has been put on wrong or that you have not gotten it tightened enough which is causing the water to leak into the ice maker.

I would take it apart and check how it has been installed first. If you are till having an issue make sure you check to see if the gaskets are in place to seal the hoses tight on the new valve.

This sounds like your "shut-off valve" is getting stuck. It may need to be cleaned. Though you said you just replaced it, which makes me wonder if it might be something else like a bent bail wire.

You might have a clogged water line. I would check that first.

The water inlet valve supplies water to the refrigerator ice and water dispenser. The valve requires a minimum of 20psi to work properly. If the water pressure is too low, the valve may not close fully when the power is shut off.

As a result, the valve leaks water into the ice maker, causing it to overflow.

I have a Frigidaire side by side refrigerator, about 7 years old. I am having trouble with the icemaker, it makes ice cubes, but somehow there is ice forming in the bottom of the ice tray.

Is there possibly water overflowing in the icemaker? Could it have anything to do with the refrigerator water filter being clogged? I have noticed that the water flow has gone way down at the water dispenser.

Please advise on how to fix the icemaker problem.

I just had this problem with my Amana. I cleaned the condenser coils under the fridge. It was caked with dust and pet hair and cleaning it solved the problem!

The icemaker water valve needs to be replaced more than likely. The valve allows water to seep through the hose at a slow rate which freezes at the inlet to the icemaker. When the icemaker calls for the water to fill water can not pass through the inlet tube and runs down the back panel of the freezer.

If you have the inlet valve replaced this will solve your problem.

Sounds like the water valve is sticking open when the ice maker is asking for water. If you have hard water i would say that will be your problem. Also the ice maker will have a water adjustment on it. Look in your owners manual to see were the adjustment screw is locate.

Do you have the lever bar pushed to stop the ice flow? I ask because I had an auto ice maker once and didn't know there was one for the longest time ;-)
