Icemaker is overfilling and water is leaking from icemaker door. The ice maker is located in the top of the fridge and both the inlet valve at the rear of the fridge and the dual valve in the top of the refrigerator have been replaced with no change. Is there an adjustment for water flow on the icemaker, or should I replace the icemaker module? :confused: Thanks.

The icemaker controls the water fill and I've seen them quit turning while filling and flood the freezer. Its rare but possible.

Does yours look like part 17 on this page?

Thanks for taking time to respond, but the part # on the icemaker is WPW10377151, it looks like this:

Yeah I got those numbers from this web site. They don't seem to have your model number.

You have a part number and it seems like a reasonable price, so you really don't need me.

I did not know that the icemaker controlled the water level. You have been a great help, thanks.
