Possible Causes
Valve energized too long by control, Sticking solenoid in water valve, Incorrect valve coil resistance, Control board triac failure
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the appliance and close the water supply valve immediately if you see active leaking.
- Inspect for ice and water: Remove the ice bin and check for water trails or sheets of ice under the ice maker. Mop up any water.
- Check fill tube: Ensure the fill tube is correctly positioned over the tray and not spraying water outside the mold.
- Test valve operation: With power restored, observe a fill cycle. If water continues to flow after the normal fill time or drips constantly, the valve is likely sticking and must be replaced.
- Control check: If a new valve behaves the same, the main control board may be energizing the valve too long and will require replacement by a technician.
