Water flow does not stop. I took the icemaker out, let is thaw and checked for any cracks in the icemaker freeze tray and the small tray that supplies the icemaker with water. The next day I reinstalled the icemaker and the small water receiving tray. I turned on the water supply and turned on the icemaker. Same rusults. Too much water comming in. Water flow will not stop from refrigerator. I thank you Kindly for any help you can give. James Kimbrough :confused:
