It was sporadic, meaning it would stop in 5 seconds, sometimes 15 or 20 seconds. now it won't stop at all. Could it be the inlet valve?

What you need to do is pull the refrigerator out so that you can unplug the refrigerator quick. When the water is running see if unplugging the refrigerator stops the water flow or if you have to turn the water off the make it stop. If you have to turn the water off the water inlet valve is bad and if unplugging the refrigerator stops the water you either need the switch for the lever or the dispenser board.

Refrigerator repair guide the water is on, and the refrigerator is plugged in, and nothingi s coming out, either by itself, or by depressing the lever. Is the dispenser board the one with the led lights, the buttons you push for water, ice..etc?
