Hotpoint Excessive Water Fill

Ice cubes are too large and may clump together in the bin.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Stuck water inlet valve, Misadjusted water level setting, Faulty water level sensor or float switch

Safety: Unplug the unit and shut off water before service.

Observe fill: Turn water back on and watch a fill cycle. If water continues to flow after the fill period, the valve may be sticking open.
Replace inlet valve: If the valve drips or does not close fully, replace the water inlet valve.
Check float or sensor: Ensure the float moves freely and the sensor is clean. Replace if damaged or misreading.
Adjust fill setting: If your Hotpoint model allows, reduce the fill time slightly via the control panel.
