The ice maker continues to ice over - Refrigerators

The switch is probably sticking. It may be the lever is sticking.

Replace the ice maker there is a sensor switch in ice makers which is mounted with it you can't replace just the sensor switch you have to replace the whole thing

water line to ice maker is likely frozen and the water cannot get to the ice maker

Ice makers run themselves almost independently from any other functions in a refrigerator. Your ice maker maybe bad or water supply solenoid valve has probably failed. Check the continuity of the solenoid valve and test it. Once continuity is established, disconnect the supply line to the ice maker and energize the valve with the water line open. Make sure you use a container to catch the water. If water comes out while it is energized, the valve is good and you to focus on the ice maker. Check and make sure and check all wiring before making a hasty decision to replace it. If it is does not make ice, just replace it.

Hi,
Here is a tip that I wrote about the reasons why ice makers do not work.

Replace the water valve behind refrig , where the wall water line connects to on refrig .

Water dispensing solenoid is bad. You need to replace the solenoid valve. This typically is independent of the ice maker.

Most ice makers have a wire bar that senses when the ice bucket is full. The bar lifts up when new ice is made. The ice maker determines if the ice bucket is full by lowering the bar back down after the ice drops into the bucket. If the bar hits the ice cubes in a full bucket, the ice maker shuts off. If the bar drops all the way and dosen't touch ice cube, the ice maker continues making ice until the bucket is full.

So you likely have one of the following problems:
1) The wire bar is missing or bent. Check to make sure that when the bar is pushed up, the ice maker stops making ice. Most bars will 'click' into the up position so you can shut the ice maker off. Push the bar up until it clicks into the up position and wait overnight to see if it makes more ice. If there is no wire bar over the ice bucket, that is your problem.

2) The switch the wire bar is connected to is malfunctioning. If you push the wire bar up and the ice maker continues to make ice, this is likely your problem. You will need a new ice maker unit. Try Appliance Parts Pros or EBay for a new unit.

Bad I/M, won't shut off after harvest and continues to restart cycle. Heater in I/M should warm up thermostat after first harvest and stop unit from recycling.
