Ice Maker water keeps running

If the ice ejector turns constantly, and water flows with each turn, you have a bad limit switch inside ice maker. This switch stops the motor inside, and thus the ejector, and allows for a freeze cycle. There are other possible problems but i suggest just getting a new ice maker. Not that hard to change out if you have any mechanical skills.

pour water in your ice maker. when it dumps ice cubes, keep filling it up again.after 5 or 6 times it should start working on its own

-Turn the ice maker off. If still leaking and decide not to use the ice maker to make any more ice then unplug the
water valve that let water run to the ice tray. Only the one for the ice. Otherwise you will not have any water at all.


Good luck

first check the water supply on the ice maker check inlet water solinoid valve then reset the unit by unplugging power cord after a minutes plug the unit and start ice maker see to it that the compressor running.

It does sound as if you may need a new ice maker. Other than that does the compressor come on to keep the ice cold? If so is it making any type of noises beyond the typical hum?

Ice maker has built in thermostat that turns cycle on at around 10 degrees F. If freezer temp does not reach that point the ice maker will not cycle. So either the freezer is not cold enough or the thermostat is faulty.

Make sure that the ice maker motor that turns the cams and controls the various stages is also working.

See if the fill tube is partially blocked with ice. It's the tube where the water comes into the ice maker.
The water inlet valve on the back of unit opens when the ice maker needs water. If the valve doesn't seal good because of sediment or wear it will continue to drip and when the water reaches the ice maker supply tube it will freeze. You can take the water line off the valve and watch to see if it drips.

A strainer before the inlet valve can also get stopped up restricting flow.

If water keeps running to the ice maker all the time even when it doesn't call for water , the water valve for the ice maker is leaking(located in the back of the refrigerator,bottoom right),but if overflow only when it calls for water(no more than 7 seconds) the problem is in the ice maker control board, you can replace it but it will cost almost as a new ice maker.

could be a problem with the ice maker itself or the water solenoid that controls the water.
the ice maker itself controls the solenoid. if there is a stuck contact, then water would continue to run.

if the solenoid has a leaky valve, water would still come in even there is no more power.
