I have a side by side Kitchen Aid refrigerator that the ice maker that the water is overflowing out of. Is it the ice maker or the water supply valve that controls this? Thanks in advance.

I replace the water inlet valve, but it is still overflowing. Do you think it is the ice maker itself?

I replaced the ice maker assembly and the problem persists...I hope we can figure out what the problem is! I'm so SICK of old school ice trays I could spit!
I think it may be the downspout...not sure...
:-)

...do this...I found this on another post here...
"Remove the ice maker front cover and, using an insulated piece of wire (14 GA), short test points "T" & "H" to run the motor. Leave the jumper in for a half of a revolution and remove it. The water valve should be energized in the last half of the revolution for 7.5 seconds."
If you notice anything funny during the test you could probably use a new ice maker. Just use a length of regular home wiring (insulated) with the tips stripped and poke them into the two holes to energize...

Thanks Shay! Where does the water valve go? I think that's my problem...the supply line freezes over time...I noticed you tried replacing yours...
