Installed all the new parts as recommended. When I run the low side to the dispenser as noted though, I get a fairly constsant trickle after releasing the fill lever paddle that makes quite a mess. For the heck of it, I flipped flopped the position of the lines with the high side going to the dispenser and that cured the trickle but I have not gained any improvement with the annoying drip, it's still the same. a few drops an hour or so. Am I expecting too much for this not to drip at all? I don't remember it always having this drip issue.

(it has always worked for me). A couple of other things to look for: Does your icemaker fill in 7 seconds or less ? Do you have properly sized and solid ice cubes ? (this could indicate a low water pressure or water supply to the unit). Check all of the tubing(old and new) for good air tight seals on all the connections. (make sure there are no burrs on the tubing and that they are all clean, flat cuts on the ends). Other than these checks you should not ever have a constant drip from your dispenser, unless you've got a lot of air in your water supply, or low water pressure. :) :) :)

:) :) :) The ice maker does appear to be filling quickly (under 7 seconds as you note) and the cubes appear AOK. I was pretty careful about cutting, inspecting and installing the lines. Pressure at the wall is fantastic and the line in from the wall appears to be fine. Maybe I'll pop on a new one in case the line is coming apart internally creating an interruption. I ran it at "full on" the other day and it was flowing extremely strong. After work I'll pop all the connections loose and double check as you recommend. Thanks...

Thanks... Those are all the checks and repairs I know of at this point.:) :) :)
