Kenmore ice maker overfills the reservoir or bin with water, sometimes causing internal leaks.

Safety First: Unplug the unit and shut off water immediately to stop overfilling.

• Inspect float mechanism: Access the reservoir and check the float or level sensor. Clean any scale or slime that may cause sticking.
• Test inlet valve: With water supply off and unit unplugged, disconnect the outlet side of the valve. Turn water on briefly; if water flows without power, the valve is stuck open and must be replaced.
• Check sensor wiring: Ensure the level sensor harness is intact and firmly connected to the control board.
• Replace faulty parts: Install a new float switch, level sensor, or inlet valve as needed, then restore water and power and monitor for proper fill level.
