We just moved into a 10 year old house with a Maytag side-by-side refrigerator. Sometimes (not every single time) when filling up a glass with ice or water, the dispenser doesn't stop immediately after pulling the glass away. Even just pressing it in for a fraction of a second will cause it to keep coming and fill the whole glass with water/ice.
Might be a sticky spring or something?

i would recommend changing the water valves as they may be sticking or leaking now you can take the icemaker loose get a small baby bottle short the terminals to cycle water fill catch it with the bottle and see how much water it dumps should be about 4 ounces if the valve leaks will over fill the ice maker over a period of time say the valve is leaking a few drops at a time and the bail arm has the icemaker shut off because its touching ice in the bin but the water just keeps dripping down the fill tube till it runs over did you replace the whole icemaker or just the motor module
I need you to double check the model number. Maytag has a service library at this link. http://www.servicematters.com/maytag_library/html/index.html
By placing the first 3 letters in the search feature it will take you to models like yours. Chose the correct model that you have and enter the number in the search. I believe that the water control valve on back of your refrigerator is the problem. Maytag is very good about helping their customers. Let me know if you have problems gettting the information you need, Thanks, Sea Breeze

Below is a picture of the fountain parts. I believe the controls inside the fountain are defective and will need replaced. Temporarily disconnect the control valve to the Fountain control plug this will allow the ice maker to continue to work. Let me know if you need more help and assistance to solve this problem. Below is a link to my site, email and a photo of the parts. Thank You, Sea Breeze [email protected]

Need to enquire from the agents if that dispenser switch is available as a spare part. If so, switch off and strip carefully as logic shows you.
