Default ice maker leaking but still making ice
Model Number: msd2456ge   Brand: Maytag   Age: 5 - 10 years   

I have the above fridge and the ice maker leaks. The leak occurs near the front of the maker, closest to the door. Ice is still made but the leak creats a large icesicle from the point of the leak to the bin. Any ideas?

You probably have a bad water solenoid in the back. To check, drain ice maker mold and swap the solenoid wires. Push in the water fountain actuator for nine seconds. If ice maker overflows, you have a bad water solenoid available by clicking on your model # above.
