The unit is an Amana side-by-side with ice and water dispensing thru the door. The icemaker commenced overflowing with ice subsequently over everything in the freezer section. FixYa suggestions indicated possible problems with the dual inlet valves, the control module or possibly the ice-maker tray liner Valves were checked by removing the outlet tubes to the refrig. components with the water pressure on. Then electrical connectors on the valve were switched and the freezer side valve exercised by actuating the door water dispenser. The valve appeared tight. Since the unit had been in place for a dozen years I decided to replace the entire unit rather than just the control module. The replacement required some minor exchange of mounting hardware with the old unit but all functions well now. The old unit tray seems fine so the problem was likely the control unit. This is modular and only held in place by three screws and would have been a bit cheaper solution.
Its hard to ck a valve that drips / and the ice maker may be over filling . if ice cubes are stuck to gether it is over filling . if driping . it may be a bad valve that does not shut off tight. I would replace the valve .. ****
