I checked all water connections and they show no signs of leaking. emptied the pan. this morning (friday) it was overflowing again. there is NO accumalation inside and the interior vents are NOT obstructed. the temp in the freezer and fridge are fine. the icemaker valve was replaced 10 months ago any ideas? thanks jeff

And I can't imagine 3-4 quarts of water evaporating in 3 days time. (I almost filled an entire pitcher the first time it overflowed) any other ideas?
