Changed the ice maker and that work for about 4 months then started leaking again. Ice trays are a pain, but cheaper then the repair cost.

Most likely the problem is a bad water inlet valve on the back of the refrigerator which stacks open.

Roger,

Are you sure the problem was the ice maker from the beginning? Or may be it was the ice maker and now it is a bad water valve?

Unfortunately nothing last forever.

Thanks Gene. I'll try changing the valve. Maybe it's sticking. We get a lot of sediment in our lines.

hello
i originally posted that i was having a problem with my ice maker overfilling or spilling causing an ice waterfall in the freezer. i fabricated a cover for the fill try where the water fill tube directs the water to the freeze tray. so far so good as the problem seems to be fixed. i think that the water was splashing over this tray and cascading down creating the problem. like i said so far so good ill keep you posted
