Water leaking inside freezer ice maker

I have a Hotpoint side by side refrigerator with filtered water/ice maker. About 4 months ago, the auger arm broke in the ice bin, we replaced that, but in the mean-time we turned off the icemaker (water still worked in the door). Once the auger was in and ice bucket back, we turned on the icemaker again. All parts in the icemaker seemed to work, but no water came out. All the information I could find seemed to suggest that the water line was frozen. I defrosted the freezer and used a hairdryer on the water line (behind the fridge) and inside the freezer (careful not to melt anything, as suggested). No luck. I just threw my hands in the air and gave up, figuring that I'd be making my own ice from now on. But, today, water came pouring out of the freezer.(From the water tube that fills the ice tray).The water would not stop even when the ice tray was full. The icemaker was not turned on. I turned the water line off (shut off seems to be working, water stopped leaking) to the fridge and defrosted the freezer again. I haven't changed the water filter in about one year but I have not had any problems with the water flow from the door. What can I do?

    We replaced the valve on the back of the fridge and since then it makes ice but there is a leak as the water freezes intoi a big clump in the ice maker. Also since we replaced the valve all we get is crushed ice on the door if you want cubes you have to take them from the bin. Thanks in advance for your help. Jennie

Sounds like the line was frozen but the water fill indicator is faulty.

SOURCE: icemaker auger jams , GE side by side

Water expands when it freezes and you probably have too much of it when the mold tray fills... Readjust the level to a bit less and you won't have triplet or quadruplet ice cubes..
Hope that helps...

SOURCE: water is going to dispenser in door but not to icemaker.

The first thing I would look at is the two solenoids on back of refrigerator. Each of the two have 2 wires. Switch the two sets of the two and then try the water dispenser. If the dispenser then don't work the ice maker should begin filling. If this happens you will need to purchase a new duel solenoid for that fridge. Hope this helps, Sea Breeze

SOURCE: icemaker auger

To see how the auger goes back together, go the the Sears parts web site and put in your model number. It will show the parts list and a diagram. You may be able to print it out, Don't remember if there is a print option or not but if you have a screen capture program you could also.

If it overfills and drips, look for an adjustment behind the plastic endcover with a +/- on it. - is less water.

If it continuously drips, replace the water inlet valve on the back where the house water supply comes in.

1. Keep freezer temp setting @ 5 degree.2. Check water supply with full pressure (Back of regrigerator) 3. Confirm shut off arm is not struck due to huge cubes stored in bucket. If so, please remove ice cubes.4. Check solenoid valve which allows water flow whenever required to ice maker is working.
Please follow the steps also given hereunder.


Close the freezer door completely. The dispenser will not work while thedoor is open. Place the ice bin in the proper position. Avoid placing ice inthe bin that was not made by the ice maker. The cubes may jam in the deliverychute. If ice is jammed in the delivery chute, remove it with a plastic utensil.Discard the ice in the bin and wash it if ice has melted around the auger. Drythoroughly before replacing it. Wait three minutes if the dispenser stopsdispensing ice after the arm has been held in for a long time. The dispensermotor will reset and will begin to dispense ice again.

Inside my side by side freezer side (hss25gfta ww)
The ice maker water inlet valve has failed allowing water to pass when it is not supposed to pass. The water valve is item 800 of this link. http://www.appliancepartspros.com/partsearch/model.aspx?model_id=5203104&diagram_id=24933031#d24933031

Changing the water valve most always returns the ice maker operation back to normal.

The auger arm doesn't turn. The ice maker still makes ice, it just can't dispense.
Take the ice container with auger inside it and defrost it. Withe the door open to the freezer push the switch that turns light on in freezer to turn it off. Have someone push the ice dispenser switch while you hold the light button in. Tell me if there is any movement in the auger motor in rear and let me know what you find. Thanks, Sea Breeze

Several problems with ice maker
i suspect he real problem is that the freezer is not defrosting. its difficult but take off thge back panel in the freezer and see if there is ice build-up on the pipework behind.if so melt it off with a hair-dryer and check also that the drain is clear. the water you have had on the floor could be due to intermittant defrosting
