The only way I could stop it is to turn off the main water supply. Does anyone have ideas.

If the water will still coming in, replace both water valves. If the water will stop, replace the ice maker.

I sure hope this is what is wrong. There are two water inlet valves: before the filter and after the filter. Replacing just one of them could not fix the problem. Gene.

If you unplug a refrigerator, you have to wait at least 10 minutes before you plug it back. Gene.
