Possible Causes
Faulty ice maker water level control, Sticking water inlet valve, Incorrect water pressure (too high), Ice maker not level in ice room
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the refrigerator before adjusting or removing the ice maker.
Steps:
- Check for overfill: Remove the ice bucket and inspect the ice maker tray. If cubes are fused or overflowing, the tray is overfilling.
- Level the refrigerator: Use a level to ensure the refrigerator and ice maker are not tilted. Adjust front leveling legs as needed.
- Inspect inlet valve: At the rear, check the water inlet valve for signs of leaking or continuous dripping into the ice maker line. A valve that does not close fully must be replaced.
- Replace ice maker: If the valve is good but overfilling continues, the internal water level control in the ice maker is likely faulty. Replace the ice maker assembly.
