And I'm sorry in advance for any stupid questions! =) Now then, my problem is that our ice maker leaks into our ice collection bucket and down the back wall of the freezer. Ice maker works fine (does of course have a problem with clumping when water leaks into it and freezes) and water dispenser also works perfectly fine. We have not been able to see where the leak is coming from and we do not have a manual book (bought fridge with house). I have no idea how to proceed and was hoping you could lead me in the right direction. :confused: Thank you! Dawn M.

What it sounds like is your Part number: AP3103466 valve is bleeding thru or not closing all the way when the ice maker calls for water, the next reason this would be happening is the Part number: AP2984633 what happens is the mold where the ice is formed starts loosing the protective coating, due to the hardness of the water, most likely you have a bad water valve thank you and good luck !
