Ice maker is not working. Ice maker floods into tray instead of making ice.
Water dispenser works fine. Is related to a bad water valve?

could, and usually does cause the issue you're describing. Replacing the valve assembly is a great idea, and should solve your issue. Thanks, :) :) :)

Bought new fill valve. Replaced old one. Water still flooding the ice maker.
Can still get water from water side. When water turns on to make ice it floods instead of going into the ice mold.
What would you suggest for me to do next?

It could be frozen, kinked, or twisted and not aligned properly. That could cause the water to "miss" the icemaker mold like you described. :) :) :)
