Hello,
Last week, there was a lot of water on the freezer side; filled the bottom & out the door on the floor too. I wasn't sure of the cause, but since then, the ice maker stopped working. The fill hose is not clogged. How do I determine if it is the valve or the ice maker unit?

Try swapping the wires on the dual water inlet valve. Then try the water dispenser. The water should go to the ice maker. This will tell you weather or not the ice maker valve is working and if the line is clear.
The water problem could be: Your drain tube may be stopped up with ice at the upper end because it drains too slow because it's stopped up at the lower end in the evaporator pan under the unit at the floor. It can get dust and mold in it. Once you get the ice out at the top a little pressure with a turkey baster will usually clear it out. Flushing it out with hot water and clorox may help. Make sure it drains quick enough to prevent refreezing. . The drain should be located below the evaporator coils on the lower back of the freezer.
