I replaced the water inlet valve. After that water was going to the icemaker but would not shut off. I replaced the ice maker thinking that may be the problem. Still water will not shut off to the ice maker. Any further help would be appreciated.

I was thinking it was the timer and was cotemplating of replacing the ice maker. sounds like that did not solve your problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated. my timer doesn't seem to be turning inside the freezer

What is the part number of the new ice maker? Would the water shut off if you turn off the ice maker? Would the water shut off if you remove the wires from the water inlet valve? Gene.

Actually when I dissconnected wires from the inlet valve the water still runs to the ice maker. At no time is it a stream of water, the water runs slow almost a fast drip.

Sounds like the problem is a bad water inlet valve which does not close all the way. Did you use the OEM part as a replacement? - The water inlet valve Part number: AP3189335 Gene.
