Chances are that the dual water control valve on the ice maker side is defective and not shutting off all the way allowing water to slowly leak by and mess up the freezer with frozen water everywhere. The replacement part is=> WR57X10051 Water Inlet Valve
If the water is simply an extended over fill after ice maker refills that will be caused by the ice maker itself. WR30X10093 Ice Maker Assembly
If you have questions please ask, Thanks Sea Breeze

It is possible the water control valve on the back of the refrigerator is defective. When the thermostat in the ice maker tells the water control valve to ope after dumping the ice. Try filling the ice maker with tap water and let it freeze and cycle one time. It is also possible that the fill tube for the ice maker has frozen shut because of the slow continious flow of a leaking water control valve. You can try to clear the ice with a hair dryer, but if the control valve continues to let water buy will have another damaged ice maker. The part number for the water control valve is WR57X10032 and you can enter parts numbers and model numbers on the search feature at the link below. Let me know how thing are and if you were able to get this under control, I am here to help if you like, sorry I just today saw your post, Thanks, Sea Breeze

SOURCE: Ice maler water leaking
Found that ice had accumulatd in the refill cup that prevented the water from filling the mold so that it spilled over into the frezzer compartment
SOURCE: lITTLE OR NO WATER IN ICEMAKER TRAY
Is the ice maker fill tube frozen? What is your model # ? Is there water leaking on the floor? you may have a broken or cracked hose at or around the water valve
SOURCE: no ice from icemaker
Read the manual and see if the icemaker has a thermostat that prevents the admission of water into the tray if the freezer temp is too high. Also..make sure the ice level bar is down.

Thanks, I figured that's what the problem was so I replaced the valve this morning and it seems to be working fine now.
