So, from time to time, my 10 year old Kitchen-aid KSSP42QTS00 leaks a little from the ice-dispenser.

Lately, it's making ice fine, although they sometimes are all bunched together and have a frost coating to them. But now, there seems to be a decent constant flow(not a drip really) from under the flap of the ice dispenser. I also noticed that the flapper doesn't stay shut which may be the issue. The little water tray where you put the cup to fill it is getting full after 6-8 hours or so. It's a built-in fridge and expensive to replace, so I usually come here to try to fix other items previously and had good luck.

It's not a huge drip, but big enough to need me to take a paper towel every morning to wipe up the 4-5 inch puddle.

Any ideas what it could be and what I need to get to fix it?

Thanks,

Sternern

Im guessing it sounds like maybe I just go ahead and replace the following items:

1. Ice Door Motor and Bracket Assembly WPW10546285 / AP6022812

2. Ice Dispenser Chute Door WP2180353 / AP6005973

For the roughly $70, it would make sense to do both at the same time. Do you think that makes sense? I just want to make sure I am replacing the proper parts based on the symptoms.

Let me know what you think.

Thanks for your input.

Awesome and thanks for the reply. I just ordered the parts. I will look online for videos on how to replace these parts.
