Water periodically streams into my refrigerator from above. The freezer is on top. What is wrong? How do I stop it. I've already turned the ice-maker off and it still happens.

This most likely is happening during a defrost cycle and it's because the evaporator pan drain is plugged with ice, debris, etc... Turn off the fridge and remove food items from the freezer... Locate screws on the inside rear cover of the freezer compartment and remove this cover exposing the evaporator coil and fan assy... Under the coil is the pan which catches condensate during the defrost cycle, this pan will have a drain tube... You may need to use a hair dryer if the pan is filled with ice... Use hot water and a turkey baster to melt ice inside the tube... Once water flows freely to the condensate pan underneath the fridge then it won't drip into your fridge during defrost...
