When an automatic refrigerator ice maker continues flowing water nonstop into the mold tray until it overflows and floods the freezer, it is typically caused by a defective water inlet valve solenoid or excessively high household water pressure. If the mechanical plunger inside the electric water inlet valve becomes stuck open due to mineral scale buildup or internal spring wear, it cannot shut off the water supply once the mold fills. You can troubleshoot water flow easily by observing the fill cycle. You can verify that your corrective action is successful when replacing a worn water inlet valve assembly or installing a household water pressure regulator stops the continuous water flow completely.
