This does not happen every time the icemaker refills. I ordered a new water valve from this website and replaced it and that did not solve the problem. Could this be an electrical problem? Please help.

Looks like some time they got stuck closed. The best solution is to replace the ice maker. - The part number for the ice maker is AP2984633 Gene.
