HTS18GCNAWW. It seems that the water valve is not closing/shutting off, but is doing so at random. Almost like something is not sending the signal all the time. There is sufficient water pressure coming into the WR57X10033 water valve. Would it be the solenoid in the valve or a switch or something in the IM that closes the solenoid?
HI .THIS SOUNDS LIKE THE SOLENOID VALVE STICKING.INTERMITENTLY.WATER INTHE PIPE DOESNT NORMALLY FREEZE UP.IF IT DID THEN PROBABLY THE VALVE WAS LEAKING IN VERY SLOWLY THUS FREEZING UP EVENTUALLY.WATER VALVE IS CONNECTED VIA THE TIMER AS IT'S ROTATING.HOPE THIS HELPS ALI

Had the same problem with mine. Got a technician to have a look. Inside the fridge at the back there's an overflow tray. CHeck if this is not blocked. Clear it by putting a tray behind your fridge under the overlfow pipe and pour hot water through the overflow tray inside the fridge. Sometimes food gets stuck in there and nobody thinks to clear this out. Mine was easily unblocked and now its stopped leaking.

This also happened after I changed the water filter. The small black rubber tube that fills the tray was plugged with ice. Instead of hot wash cloths I used a hair drier for a couple of minutes.

The fill tube was originally clogged/frozen. I have since cleared that. All the testing I am doing now is with the water valve connected, but the outlet of the water valve is not. I have it so it dispensed the water into a large bowl.
I do see the the forks rotating. Is there a sensor or switch that tells the valve to shut off or is it on a timer of some sort?
